Lonely Planet London City Guide 0.98

The top-selling guide to London. - Borders.com

London Calling? You’ll always have an answer with Lonely Planet’s City Guide on your iPhone. This pulsating megalopolis isn’t known as the World’s Capital for no reason: all corners of the globe meet here, producing a cosmopolitan cocktail that still tastes distinctly British. Our three resident authors and ever-vigilant community of users have distilled nearly 2000 hours of research into this essential guide to one of the world’s essential cities. Whether Old Hand or London Novice, this is the one tool you must have.

We’ve fully re-engineered this best-selling guide to make the most of your pocket companion, offering comprehensive interactive maps with GPS plotting; dedicated chapters on London’s festivals, history, architecture and culture; gorgeous photography to help paint the picture; walking tours and excursions to get you out and about, and nearly 1000 independently-reviewed places to eat, sleep, shop, see and socialise, all at your fingertips. Plus essential information on getting around on the Tube, getting to and from the airport and more.

No need to worry about roaming internet costs, of course: our stand-alone app gives you plenty of warning before connecting. Nice one!
