Description
Few cities in the world can boast the richness of history, culture and ethnicity that have made the British capital one of the world's most exciting metropolises. From the curry houses of Southall in the west to the historic East End, from wild Hampstead Heath to the buzz of Brixton, London is far more than Harrods, Buckingham Palace and the British Museum. Here you'll find one of the hottest clubbing scenes on the planet, a vast range of superb shops, a rich arts scene and excellent restaurants. Highlights of this edition include a clubber's eye view of the capital's trailblazing dance scene, with details of the hottest clubs; area by area guides to many of London's lesser-known districts, as well as extensive coverage of all the famous quarters; the cream of London's restaurants, including tips on eating cheaply; and a guide to all the best day trips, including Oxford, Canterbury, Stratford, Brighton and countryside escapes.
