It's everywhere, and it's telling entire generations of people how to travel the world.' Fairfax Media (Australia) Review: Perfect Size! - I carried this book all over London! I would give it to my kids on longer train rides to look through. There is a lot of information packed into this tiny book! Review: Excellent! - This proved to be an excellent travel guidebook for a week - long stay in London. It is small, light, and easily fits into your daily backpack. It was divided into regions/sections of London, with useful walking tours and restaurant/cafe recommendations. In particular, I found the tips for navigating the city outstanding. Had I not read it beforehand, I would not have known about the immensely valuable oyster card for all public transportation, including the incredible Underground. I highly recommend this book.
