Fabulous book for visiting London.
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 20 years ago
Excellent resource guide for planning your trip. Read it to see the fascinating and interesting places available to visit in London, that most guidebooks don't even mention. Took this book with me on an eight-day trip. Reviewed it every evening before going to sleep to see what we could squeeze in the following day. An indispensable book for visiting London.
Excellent

This guide provides an excellent overview of art and history throughout London and as a result, I discovered museums I doubt I would have found otherwise. It's really treasure for any visitor to London who is interested in art.
What a gem!

This is the only guide I have found of its kind for London, and it is superbly done. Not only does it profile all the obvious, big-name museums, but also details dozens of smaller ones like the Guildhall Clock Museum, the Museum of Garden History, and the British Red Cross Museum and Archives (to name a few). As with all Insight Guides the photography is first-rate, and the larger format of this guide makes it even more accessible than their standard travel guides. The collaborative style in which this book was written really works - it feels fresh and engaging throughout. I bought this book with the intention of doing research on the Tate Modern and Victoria and Albert Museums, and discovered more than a dozen smaller venues I had never even heard of before. My recommendation is that this is a must for art-lovers and museumgoers, and for anyone interested in discovering obscure of London they may otherwise overlook. If you are going to London to look at art, take this book and a comfortable pair of shoes!!
