This book is like a finely reduced sauce. It takes the best of our guides to the capital and tells you where to go and what to do in this vast, multicultural, chaotic city. London has pockets of wilderness complete with open air swimming and free-roaming deer; art galleries and museums full of masterpieces; restaurants serving some of the most exciting food in the world; history dating back centuries; parades of interesting indie shops; hundreds (no, thousands) of pubs and plenty to entertain overly energetic kids. Overwhelmed? Don't be. All you need to know is in this handy pocket-sized and proudly opinionated guide. This is part of a series of opinionated guides which offer insider's advice on what to do and see in cities around the world.
