Rating:  Summary: London for Dummies Review: London for Dummies is by far the best reference for travelling to London. I had previously purchased other books, though Dummies was the first to catch my eye. I could have saved money by making Dummies my first purchase! It proved to be the best including all suggestions on where to stay, eat and sightsee. The maps were fabulous. They provided better detail than many "London maps". Throughout the book, "tips" are offered. Everything was completely on target for organizing a fantastic stay in London. I was not disappointed with one suggestion. The only disappointment was a suggestion made in another book. So for the future, I will depend on the Dummie travel series.

Rating:  Summary: One mistake Review: This is a wonderful book with one exception. It states your passport needs to have "at least 2 months remaining validity to enter the United Kingdom.." In fact, you must have 6 months! Beware!

Rating:  Summary: Don't leave home without it. Review: We just returned from our first trip to the U.K. and this book was a lifesaver. I bought London for Dummies several months before we left along with several other more well known guides but I ended up using this guide more than all of the others put together. The advice on customs and the VAT saved me enough money to pay for the book several times over and made my trip back through U.S. customs a breeze.The information in this book is very well organized and easy to follow. Special tips are found all through the book and get you ready for a few things you might not expect. I found that, mostly because of this book, I was able to travel around London as if I had been there many times. If you are about to go to London for the first time don't go without this book. Nothing can ruin a trip like getting to a new city and feeling completely lost and alone. I never had that problem and I give a lot of credit to this book for that. Study it before you leave and be ready. It is an easy and fun read and once you get to London you will be glad you took the time to be ready.
