London, with its diverse mix of people and its historic yet outrageously modern atmosphere, is a city that can easily overpower visitors. Written by a native Londoner, and with comprehensive area-by-area coverage, this guide promises to make London's urban jungle more manageable. Over 50 maps -- including the system map of London's Underground -- and lively, informed descriptions of sights, entertainment, and restaurants are included. A wide range of accommodation information, from youth hostels to luxury hotels, help visitors find the best place to stay for their budget. Separate sections describe areas outside of London and each of the city's districts, such as Piccadilly and SOHO. Many entertaining mini-features of London, often overlooked, are covered along with information on primary tourist destinations like Buckingham Palace and Westminster Abbey.
