Consistently the best guide book.......2007-08-21
TimeOut is the most informative time and again for those who want a local's version of the city. Rough guide to London is also good. Accurate information, honest opinions, and neat tid-bits that you might not find on your own.
A little guide with alot of information.......2007-03-19
I really like the look and how compact this book is for travel. You don't need another book. It's packed with information and you almost don't need to buy the Time Out London Mazagine if you plan ahead.
Thorough, but not well organized........2007-01-07
Time Out guides are awesome, always. They are the best city guides. Unfortunately, this guide wasn't that well organized. Other Time Out guides are organized by area and within the section about the area there is a map, what to do, where to shop and where to eat. This guide is organized by sightseeing, entertainment and food, so you constantly have to flip back and forth through the book to find info....It is still better then any other guide, though, and if you supplement it with the weekly Time Out in London, you will have a great time
Fantastic guide to London but the print in the index is microscopic.......2006-10-15
We just got back from a fantastic trip to London. We brought several guide books with us but Time Out London proved to be the only one we needed -- except for the fact that the type size in the index is microscopic -- and therefore completely unusable.
I mention this because anyone over the age of 30 will have great difficulty using this index without a magnifying device.
It's too bad they do this to save a couple pages, because the index is crucial to getting the most out of this guide book.
Book Description

Foodie guide for an affordable London.......2007-06-21
London is among the most expensive cities in the world, and at the moment the US-to-pound exchange rate is frightening. While I might love to visit the 5-star restaurants on my upcoming trip, my checkbook has issued a firm, "No way." If I'm going to "do London," then I have to do it inexpensively.
I spent some time with the "full size" Time Out London Eating and Drinking (Time Out Guides) before I ultimately chose this scaled down version. The two primary reasons were practicality (this book is smaller and will fit into a pocketbook) and affordability (of the recommended meals, not the book's cost). Both are very good, but I knew that I wouldn't get full use of the full size book.
To be included in Time Out Cheap Eats, the 500 restaurants must have an average meal price of under 20 pounds. That's about $40 US, hardly a bargain at first glance, but that meal is expected to include a starter, entree, dessert, and a beer and half bottle of wine. Restaurants are price-identified on three levels, with the least expensive being under 14 pounds per person. There's not a major "best of" grading system, though the ones they particularly like get a star next to the listing.
The main listings are by geography, and roughly associated with Tube stops, so you can quickly find affordable restaurants in Chiswick or Battersea. There are also maps (with each restaurant clearly and readably marked), and indexes by cuisine (Belgian, burgers) and by restaurant name.
Like its bigger sibling, each restaurant review has complete address and contact info, map location, price range, and credit card acceptance. There are usually 100-200 words describing the places the way you'd hope a friend would, with both the positives and negatives. They usually mention a few notable dishes to give you a sense of the restaurant's specialties.
This is a great book that gives me confidence that I can eat memorably and well in London... without needing to spend a lot of money.

Exhaustive listing of London restaurants, good organization.......2007-06-03
This is a fat book: 415 pages with small type. It's probably too heavy to throw into a daypack as I travel around London on my upcoming trip, so I've ordered its smaller sibling, the Time Out London Cheap Eats, for that role.
However, if I were spending more than a few days in the city, I would definitely bring along this book. It is chock full of restaurant reviews, with very real-world considerations (such as whether a baby carriage can fit between the aisles), and not-always-positive write-ups that nonetheless give you a strong sense of what the place is like. One, described as "not for the faint of heart," explains that diners are hurried to vacate tables and the service is haphazard, and that "it's hard not to make new friends as you cosy up on long canteen-like tables." But the food is good (not that we in Phoenix know what "the usual North African crowd pleasers shine here" might mean, given a dearth of such cuisines). Each listing has the address, phone, web site, tube stop, hours, credit cards, and average prices at lunch and dinner. This is exactly what I look for in a restaurant guide.
It's also remarkably well organized. The main listings are by cuisine (29 of them, from African to Vietnamese), plus another section for cheap eats (some of which are noted in the main section, but this is where you find their list of the best fish & chips), another for drinking (pubs, bars, wine bars), yet another for shops and cooking classes. Indexes and maps help you find restaurants by area ("what's near the Tower?") and alphabetically.
An introductory section gives out the yearly Time Out awards, and shares top recommendations for brunch, kid-friendly places, late dining, etc. It's particularly welcome given the huge number of options available.
I can't speak to the veracity of the opinions expressed in the reviews. Ordinarily I look up what a guide says about a place I've been to, and use that judge how much I'll trust their rating. However, I've spent very little time in London in the last few years, and the couple of restaurants whose names/locations I remember don't happen to be listed. (I wouldn't have considered them Top Anything so I'm not surprised.)
Overall: I'm very pleased with this book. Considering its weight and the distressing exchange rate, I think I'll be happier with the Cheap Eats version.

Excellent Resource - Suffrage London Walking Tour.......2007-01-04
I purchased this book as it had a "suffrage walking tour" of london. It was a very good resource for information that is hard to find elsewhere. It was a little hard to follow while walking - seemed to have to backtrack if you had not preread & recalculated but it still was a valuable resource. Recommended.

In "Of Kites and Keats," Kate Kellaway takes a nostalgic stroll through the area of North London the poet knew best. Other entries include Margaret Forster on Hampstead Heath, Joan Smith on Hammersmith and Chiswick, and Philip Zeigler on Holland Park and Kensington Palace. Each walk is accompanied by a detailed map and information about attractions along the way.
Customer Reviews:
Greatest Book if you want to discover London.......2006-05-18
I've gone on close to 20 walks and I love each walk more then the one before. This book is a must have if you want to see London at its best. You will see every part of London and discover so much about the city but always be left amazed. Time Out did an extraordinary job with the walks, but the writing is just as entertaining as the walks themselves. Phenomenal Book. If you like walking or are planning on spending an extended period of time in London, you have to get this book.

More bling for the buck! The #1 guide to American slang is now bigger, more up-to-date, and easier to use
This new edition of McGraw-Hill’s Dictionary of American Slang and Colloquial Expressions offers complete definitions of more than 12,000 slang and informal expressions from various sources, ranging from golden oldies such as . . . golden oldie, to recent coinages like shizzle (gangsta), jonx (Wall Street), and ping (the Internet). Each entry is followed by examples illustrating how an expression is used in everyday conversation and, where necessary, International Phonetic Alphabet pronunciations are given, as well as cautionary notes for crude, inflammatory, or taboo expressions.
This edition also features a fascinating introduction on “What is Slang?,” a Thematic Index that cross-references expressions by standard terms--such as Angry, Drunk, Food, Good-bye, Mess-up, Money, and Stupidity--and a Hidden Word Index that lets you identify and locate even partially remembered expressions and phrases.
