I used the seventh edition of "Daytrips London" on my English trip earlier this summer, just as I used an earlier edition on my trip ten years ago. Not once did this book ever steer me wrong. Earl Steinbicker has done a wonderful job in staking out the most beautiful walks and the most fascinating points of interest, both obvious and not-so-obvious. If it weren't for Steinbicker, my sister and I would never have known about the walk from the train station in Salisbury, across the River Nadder and down a beautiful footpath, with a sheep meadow to our right and breathtaking views of Salisbury Cathedral to our left, to a lovely 14th-century mill turned inn. We ate delicious food and watched children and dogs play on the banks of the river. At one point local farmers drove their pony traps into the water. It was a privileged glimpse into English village life as it has existed for centuries, and we saw it only because "Daytrips London" told us it was there. I can also vouch for the excellence of Steinbicker's tips on Cambridge, Canterbury, Rye and Hampton Court. If you plan to make a walking tour of English towns, I urge you to take "Daytrips London" with you.

My husband and I traveled to London for a week and this was the only guide I took. It's the only one you'll need-- seriously. Whether you're there for a week or a month-- it's fantastic. It outlines manageable walking trips-- so you can choose to see what you want and skip what you want, without backtracking. It notes the best food in the area of the walking tour and offers really cool information about the sights in London, Bath, Rye, Dover, Stratford-Upon-Avon and many more! I cannot say enough good things about the book. It made us comfortable with public transportation (offering the best train routes to take to get where you're going). Just be aware that the prices for items and admission are not dead-on. They're close though!

I totally agree with 'A Gem' - I bought this book over the Internet and found it descriptive, informative and the only book you need when taking Daytrips in and around London. Author keep up the good work! I would recommend the whole of the Daytrips series to anyone.

This book is invaluable for planning train daytrips outside London or walking daytrips within London. Although I've explored London many times, I enjoyed having new routes I could follow that gave highlights along the way. I don't quite understand why the earlier reviewer would expect information regarding accommodations - this is a book offering sugestions for DAYTRIPS - it is not a general travel book.
