And quite frankly, you can readily find as much information about free activities and much more (like where to find free WiFi) by simply typing "free activities London" into a search engine.The entries in this book are extremely basic and consist mainly of links to other websites.  There aren't even any included maps - just links to maps!  This is FAR less than helpful when you are standing in the middle of Heathrow with no internet access.  Public places like airports and train stations do not have the free WiFI we have here in the US.  Don't plan on using your phone either until you've taken a look at the rates that International Roaming costs.Things it might be pretty important to know, like how far Queen Mary's Rose Garden is from King's Cross and whether it might be best to take the Underground or a cab are non-existent.  You'll find no map of the underground, no suggestions as to where to change money or find an ATM - not even a notation that all ATMs in the UK are free.You can entirely forget listings for things like the Christmas Market, which takes place along the banks of the Thames next to the London Eye or any of the open air markets.London is absolutely swimming with fun things to do that are free.  Grandma suggests that you Google.  In fact, Grandma would be highly surprised if the author didn't do exactly that himself.Two thumbs down.  Grandma would nominate this as her Worst Travel Guide of the Year, but sadly, she has seen even worse.
