Summary: Don't waste your time and money
Review: Just returned from London, and tried to use this book as a guide. Many of the sites don't exist, and those that I found were generally not worth the time.
Rating: 
Summary: get it
Review: The previous criticism is nitpicking; I'm going to London to teach some courses for American students, and I found lots of neat information here, not only about museum contents related to my classes, but also info on sites for my wife and 13 year old daughter to explore. true, thre is no index, but the book is so short, compact, readable, that you don't need one. Just do what i did: highlight the sites you want to see; it'll take you under an hour; you can do it on the plane!

Summary: A good idea, but poor execution
Review: This book is loaded with quite a few free things to do in London, England. Indeed, they seem to be good suggestions. However, the book lacks an index, which makes it hard to revisit interesting ideas (what page is the Sikorski museum on?). Also, the book offers only the briefest of blurbs about each of the sites it suggests. This means that it is hard to tell what you are going to actually see.

Summary: Useful
Review: Well, I just returned from London, too, and I found this book quite useful. Lots of unusual museums and parks that I never would have heard about. The book's a real bargain.
