Explore London is a brand new guide and the ideal pocket companion for your trip: a full-colour guide containing 20 easy-to-follow routes around the city, from buzzy Soho and the South Bank's theatrical landmarks to Kensington's great museums and the Tower of London. Insight's trademark cultural coverage sets the routes in context, with introductions to the capital's varied dining scene, world-class shopping and entertainment, and key historical dates. Each walk through the streets of London guides you through the neighbourhood, showing you its major attractions and hidden corners, with plenty of suggestions for the best pubs and restaurants along the way.
