Summary: Don't Believe Restaurant Reviews
Review: Some good information, and a good source for telephone numbers and things to do that you might not see suggested in other books. You do get the feeling that the author actually lives in London, and he has a good feel for what kids might enjoy and what they will probably find boring, (but that their parents think they should take them to). The second edition was better organized and more accurate than the first.The restaurant suggestions, however, as another reviewer mentioned, are not accurate. "Kid Friendly" they are not. We went to a restaurant, described in the book as having a menu of "fish fingers, burgers, etc.". We arrived to find not a fish finger in sight. I showed the book to restaurant manager who laughed, and said these, guys never come here, they call up and say "Do you feed kids?" - If we say yes they put down kid friendly. ... London is expensive, and this book won't save you any money. All that aside, I guess I would recommend this book as a source of things to do, but take the restaurant and hotel reviews with a grain of salt.

Summary: Great Reference for Places to Visit
Review: We're currently living in London for four months with a four year old, and we use this book just about everyday. As some of the other reviewers mentioned, it's not great for restaurants or hotels, but is well worth buying just for the comprehensive list of places to visit that kids would enjoy. We found this book much more helpful than others that we purchased. Most other books have too much information and list too many places to visit. This one just listed the major sights to see, but includes some of the lesser known places. We love it, but we're also more interested in taking our child to the National Gallery to see Michaelangelo and to the Natural History Museum to see the dinosaurs, then we are in taking our child to Legoland. (And yes four year old children can appreciate Michaelangelo if you explain it to them!)
