You might think that TOP 10 refers to the Top 10 places YOU MUST VISIT when in wonderful London. But it's actually better and more useful than that. The book is actually about the Top 10 things to see when at more-than-10 nifty places in London.
There's the Top 10 things at the British Museum, National Gallery, Tate Museum, Buckingham Palace, St. Paul's, Westminster, and more.
And beyond that there are lists of Top 10 for famous residences, pubs, shopping, restaurants, and more.
For restaurants, for example, there are two 'initial' pages of info. A list of 10 Top places to eat, followed by a mini-list of the Top 10 places to eat With-A-View. The book gives you a short description of the cuisine as well as info like whether you'll need reservations. At the end of each short paragraph, the book usually refers you further back in the book where you can find addresses, phone numbers, and map-references.
Which brings me to the maps. One of the things I love about this book, besides the fact that it is small and suitable to keeping in a camera bag or hand bag, are the maps. The front page unfolds 3 times to give you two nicely plasticized maps. The outside map has colored blocks that give 'districts', like Regent Park, versus say, Covent Gardens. In inside map has major roads and little markers which show train stations and points of interest. It runs from Kennington in the south to Islington in the north. [This front-of-the-book map only runs from the Hyde Park area on the west to the Tower area on the east.]
The back map focuses on West End, Minister, and the South Bank --on the inside. On the other side is a SITE INDEX and a SELECTED STREET INDEX, both of which have map keys. You will need this. I will need this.
