[.ca] Fodor's Around London with Kids, 2nd Edition (ISBN 1400012929)

The only book my daughter will read:
We are planning a trip to London and I bought a couple of books for my daughter and me to plan our trip. This one, however, is the only one she'll look at. The quick snipits about the cool stuff and the ideas for what to look out for have captured her attention. We love the places to eat close to the attractions, too. A winner!

Terrific addition to guide books:
With so many competing guide books on the market, especially to popular destinations like London, product differentiation appealing to different sectors of the market is necessary to stay in the race. This is in the same series as Fodor's Around Paris With Kids, and is a welcome foray into this market from a travel guide publisher long though to be the exclusive preserve of the well-heeled and unadventurous traveller. This book is a handy accompaniement to a visit to London for anyone with children. The information is useful, the size is wholly convenient. Nothing glossy, no photos, no pictures at all. I have borrowed all the glossy stuff from the library to read ahead of time, and anything useful have put as margin notes in THIS book, because this is the one I plan to have along. It tells you how to get to each place, opening hours, what to see and do there. Includes information on attractions especially for kids, as well as all the conventional tourist sites, museums etc, emphasising the aspects that are most likely to appeal to kids. If you are a first-time visitor to London you may feel more comfortable having a good, conventional guide book along as well, but if you don't need the basics AND you have children along with you, I reckon you'll want to have this book above all others.

Great book when planning your trip:
This book is great when planning out trip to London. They give great info (tube stop, hours, cost, places to eat, etc) but they also gave age information. They told you the ages each place was appropriate for and things to think about before going there.
