WONDERFUL AND COMPLETE:
Rating:
We have used Rick Steve's books for years and after purchasing the London book along with Paris and Prague we found all to be marvelous , but the London book was a steop above with its ideas and support.
Good Rick Steves book, but missing as a general guide
Rating: 
I enjoy Rick Steves' books and always pick one up when I travel. I enjoy his 'back door' comments and suggestions and self-guided tours, and find them helpful. But depending on your type of trip, London 2010 might not be a sufficient guide on its own. This book concentrates on excellent self-guided walks outside -- Westminster, West End, City Walk, Bankside -- and MANY inside at the different museums and churches-- British Museum, British Library, both Tate museums, Victoria and Albert, National Gallery, National Portrait, Courtauld Gallery, Westminster Abbey, St. Paul's, Tower of London. If you are not planning to spend a lot of time in these museums and churches, to which a large part of the book is devoted, this book is not the best choice. His sections on eating and sleeping are limited to a few neighborhoods. There are also no specific sections describing the different neighborhoods and the flavor of each. Of course, there are many excellent websites for eating and sleeping advice these days, and they can be more current, so maybe people don't expect a lot of help from books anymore. Perhaps a book with more sections would become too cumbersome to walk with, so the choice was made to gear this book towards a size that would be good on the many walks.
