OPIS KSIĄŻKI:

| London is more a great big jumble than a wild urban jungle. Like the British weather, it has difficulty making up its mind whether it's coming or going: seldom either baking hot or freezing cold, the city is a hotch-potch of subtle differences, an endless anonymous sprawl that can all of a sudden be vivid, distinct and charming, riddled bit by bit with immense diversity and character. First impressions are likely to be decidedly mixed: broadly low-rise, it's far from low-rent. And it does have problems, many of which directly affect visitors: the underground transport is unreliable and over-crowded; too much traffic and too many people regularly clog its polluted streets; decent accommodation can be unaffordable or booked solid; and at the end of every working week many parts of town get hopelessly drunk. And yet for all that, with its ethnic mix, street markets and multinational business, its political pragmatism and creative chaos, London remains one of the most global, engaging and invigorating places on the planet.
This handbook aims to make London's urban jungle more manageable. It features a comprehensive area-by-area coverage of the city and destinations beyond, mini-features on London town, at-a-glance lists for the highlights of each area, what's going on in the capital, information about where to stay for all budgets, descriptions of sights, entertainment and restaurants featuring the Footprint's "Good Value" sign, the low-down on public transport round the city and beyond, and suggested walks and details on a variety of activities in and outdoors.
