Regular UK guidebooks are fine too but they won't have the details of Beatles-related guides. Book ahead in London, in case things are busy. Liverpool should have accommodations a-plenty, unless there's a Beatles convention. Take an umbrella and sweater, even in summer. In private homes and in public eateries, I found it all to be superb.
Pubs still offer good deals on food as well as drink.
But check the music section anyway. Radio and television always provide surprises. You never know what you'll find on the airwaves. Click here to return to saki's index.
