A preposterously diverse anthology. This is the only print-based thing I have found that can reveal so many different views of London, that takes the city and shows us such a selection of its human life. But in an anthology like this, that has such a focus, they are indispensible. Forget Hyde Park, Embankment, and the King's Road. In the unlikely event that Big City's database of pubs and restaurants does not keep you happy for a whole lifetime, this tome tells you about all the other wonderful things you can see, do, or have done to you 'round these parts.
Surveys show that, contrary to popular belief, some people have more money than others.
Hence this book. It is also good to know that there are so many places that do not rip you off, as Sandra Gustafson demonstrates. This is the definitive guide to eateries. Written by a guy who is made of lots of car tyres joined together. Decide for yourself.
