Michelin Green Guide London (Michelin Green Guide: London English Edition)
  
Perfect for weekend getaways, each In Your Pocket guidebook is divided into four sections. The Background sets the stage with information on region's history, culture and geography. The Exploring section details "must see" sights, classified according to Michelin's renowned star-rating system. A helpful calendar of holidays, shopping, entertainment, and nightlife suggestions as well as important hotel and restaurant information is described in Enjoying Your Visit. The A-Z Factfinder is a reference section, packed with useful information on what travelers need to know when visiting a destination.

(Hide Review...)  Maps, and size, are important; hence Michelin green
Reviewer Permalink
We are just back from a trip which included London. As always, Michelin is the best at having handy maps of districts you are interested in exploring. And the size fits nicely in a coat pocket. But, as my wife said, the descriptions are not inspiring. I find the maps and portability matter while on a trip. But for planning, maybe something else might be better.

(Hide Review...)  First impression - London Green Guide
Reviewer Permalink
This is a premature general review. I am currently going through the guide, the visit in London is projected for end-September.

This seems to be a very comprehensive guide, providing a great deal of historical information.
Insofar as museums are concerned, I would have preferred more details on artists' works of particular importance and interest, at the expense of the quite extensive background and general information provided in this guide. I cannot imagine being able to take time to absorb such information, even if read on the eve of the visit in the museum itself, certainly not on the spot; I would want then to know what to look for and pay special attention to in specific exhibit.

This guide has nice, detailed histories of the all the sights but is so poorly organized and indexed that it is almost impossible to use. God help you if you know you want to visit the War Museum but don't happen to know that its full title is "Imperial War Museum"... you'll never find it in the index or book. Want to go to Hampton Court? That is in the index, but finding the map which shows where it is (mentioned in text but missing from index and table of contents) is difficult. Oh, well, just flip through the book for 15 miniutes, you'll eventually find it, but only a cryptic two words on how to get there. Organization by neighborhood is not, in itself a bad idea, but requires careful indexing. Also, the book seems to assume you will drive through London on your Michelin tires (not advised in London's insane traffic) and provides almost no information on public transport. Pass this one by!
