You'll never fall into the tourist traps when you travel with Frommer's. It's like having a friend show you around, taking you to the places locals like best. Our expert authors have already gone everywhere you might go--they've done the legwork for you, and they're not afraid to tell it like it is, saving you time and money. No other series offers candid reviews of so many hotels and restaurants in all price ranges. Every Frommer's Travel Guide is up-to-date, with exact prices for everything, dozens of color maps, and exciting coverage of sports, shopping, and nightlife. You'd be lost without us!

Completely updated every year (unlike most of the competition), Frommer's London features gorgeous full-color photos of the landmarks and experiences that await you. It covers all the traditional tourist favorites but also lets you in on local finds, neighborhood hangouts, and little-known gems.

In case you're worried about London's high prices, we've included tips on finding the best airfare, advice on package deals, and a host of moderately priced and affordable hotel and restaurants. And if money is no object, we'll show you the best places to spend it, from the Park Lane to the hippest new boutique hotels, from tea at the Ritz to the latest restaurants serving cutting-edge cuisine.

You'll rely on Frommer's for a complete guide to the city's sights, from the British Museum to Westminster Abbey. It's easy to build your own sightseeing plan, but if you'd like more guidance, we've included suggested itineraries plus a whole chapter full of detailed walking tours. We'll help you get theater tickets, point you toward the most atmospheric pubs, and show you where to shop til you drop. It's all here in one easy-to-use guide, complete with a free color fold-out map and an online directory that makes trip-planning a snap!
