The Eyewitness guide is perfect for someone who needs a good map and a list of popular sightseeing places. I intend to do a lot of walking, and am sure I'll be able to find anyplace I want to visit. The one page maps are clearer than an A to Z map. There's also a full sized pull out map, which might be handy to plan longer journeys, but awkward to walk with. The pictures and drawings are wonderful, as are the descriptions. Major sites have at least two pages, and most of the smaller attractions are covered, too. The book divides London into several areas with two maps for each area, an overall one and one of the "best stuff". In the following pages, each attraction has a description and a number, making them simple to locate on the area map. The guide does not give admission prices, probably because they change so fast, but does list web sites and phone numbers if you want more information. There's an underground map and a key to icons on the back inside cover, where they're easy to find and very useful. In fact, the whole layout of the book is extremely user friendly. I did wish they had more details about where photography is permitted. There are icons for "Photography Allowed" and "No Photography", but only a few attractions show either one.There are hotels and restaurants listed, but probably not as many as you'd find in other guidebooks. They also list all the street markets and many shopping areas, give tips on getting around, exchanging currency, seasonal events, and other useful tourist information.
