Customer Review: No new edition planned …
… according to the publisher, Mitchell Beazley, they no longer publish this book, so the next best thing is to buy a used copy of the last edition (05/06).
Customer Review: Good, but not fully comprehensive, and a little bit out of date
As a first time buyer on a limited budget, I found this very useful in deciding which areas of London were worth considering. For each of the areas covered there is a lot of information on prices, roads, new developments, what sort of buyers it attracts etc. There really is no guide like it. However, as previous reviews have stated, quite a number of areas in London are omitted, which is unfortunate because I think rising prices are pushing buyers to consider areas they wouldn’t have done previously. Therefore I think that this should be rectified should a new edition be published. Which takes me to my next point - its now two years since this was published - could the publishers enlighten us as to when a new edition might be published?

“Time Out” Weekend Breaks from London (”Time Out” Guides)
“Time Out” Weekend Breaks from London (”Time Out” Guides)
The Time Out series of travel guides has established itself as one of the most valuable series on the market today: unpretentious, sharp-eyed, authoritative and always totally accessible. In fact one runs out of adjectives for a book such as Weekend Breaks from London: anybody who cares to sample a couple of the breaks from this second edition will quickly regard this as the perfect companion to dwellers in the Smoke. The destinations here range from cities to swathes of the countryside or the astonishing beauty of the seaside. But wherever we are pointed, we are guided to the best places to stay, from quality B&Bs to more luxurious country house hotels. Needless to say, the essential sites and attractions of each area are detailed along with pithy, opinionated guides to local eateries and bars. In fact, it’s the upfront opinions that distinguish this series: again and again the entries are expertly judged essays on everything from Canterbury Cathedral to “small and perfectly formed” Rutland with its calming reservoir, Rutland Water. And the opinions are very far from the usual fluff that fills such guides–take this description of Stonehenge, for instance:
You now have to pay ?4.20 to see these big stones–and you still can’t get close. There’s also a money-spinning souvenir shop where you can even buy such neolithic memorabilia as Heritage Mustard. Impressive as the stones are, going to see them is a bit like renting your DVD player from the burglar who nicked it.
But while these warnings are valuable, it’s the enthusiastic recommendations that make this a joy to use. It goes without saying that the detailed maps are invaluable, and colour photographs evoke some of the most beautiful and characterful sites in Britain. –Barry Forshaw
Customer Review: Great weekends!
I have to completely disagree with the other review on this page. Please don’t let it put you off this book.
Although I currently live in London, I’m a born-and-bred northerner so know relatively little about the countryside around London. However, this book has opened my eyes to exactly what there is to see and do when London gets too much for me.
Having just returned from a wonderful weekend in Sussex, I can safely say that the recommendations in this guide are detailed, interesting, weell thought-out and above all entirely accurate. A pub recommendation led us to the best pub meal (and one of the best meal in any restaurant) that we have ever had in quite possibly the nicest pub we’ve ever been in.
I have also used this book for daytrips, and reading it has opened my eyes to places that I would never have otherwise heard of or thought to visit.
Well worth the money. My only criticism is that it would be helpful to have slightly more detailed maps for each section, but that is a minor quibble.
Customer Review: VERY DISAPPOINTING!-A waste of hard earned ?????
As an avid reader of Timeout magazine and other guide books, I was eagerly awaiting my delivery of this highly publicised book. On delivery I scanned the book and was a bit disappionted by the lack of relevant and approriate info for my needs and wants. I set aside some time to give timeout the benefit of the doubt and read through it from cover to cover. On a closer examination I was even more disappointed than initially. The guide covers only weekend breaks which are definately more on the expensive side rather than the budget breaks which they claimed to be and which timeout are renowned for. The book is in sections which are quite easy to follow the only good point. Not all locations are in the correct named section, so a specific place may be hard to find. I must honestly say I have read through the book and have put it away in the cupboard to gather dust as I feel that it is no use whatsoever to me at all and quite frankly i would like my money refunded from Timeout. I was looking for a budget break guide to help me out of London on the weekend, but was very disappointed. So a warning to any prospective buyers….. “A waste of hard earned cash”
