Summary: A Trip Essential
Review: The British Time Out guides are always a trip essential: Their expertise is how to spend your time when you are not in the museum or staring at the major landmark; the eating/drinking/shopping/arts/entertainment portion of your trip. Especially music and nightlife, dance clubs or bars, restaurants and shopping, or where to meet/watch people, what to enjoy, their information in invaluable. This 7th edition is updated from last year's and they really have taken the time to update it, adding or dropping places reviewed, updating the reviews on the places carried over. They didn't just copy and paste a bunch of last year's material, they really work hard to make it good. Plus, this edition is currently $4.00 less than last years! The descriptions of the main attractions and the side/day trips are very good. Although not as pretty and picture heavy as other guide books, if you could only take one guide book for a stay of more than 3 or 4 days, this would be the best choice. Maps in the back are very useable, altogether a really great book.
