About the Book

In which other city do you already know upon arrival that your vacation days will not be enough, that you want to come back or even stay permanently? London never gets boring; here, the crazy, quirky chaos meets many old traditions. London thrives on its contradictions: a global city that is essentially just a collection of several villages, a city that constantly reinvents itself while being firmly rooted in its structures. London is stimulating and exciting, and if it becomes too crowded, too loud, and too hectic for you – a quiet pub is fortunately always just around the corner.

Author Annette Kossow not only introduces you to the well-known highlights but also takes you to lesser-known neighborhoods and alleys, where London is once again reinventing itself. Matthias Schatz presents interviews, portraits, and reports in the magazine, creating a palpable closeness to life in the capital of the United Kingdom.

And this is how you experience London with the DuMont Travel Pocket Guide:

• Personal and authentic: We value honest experiences, closeness, and presence
• Clear organization into individual neighborhoods with their sights and museums, as well as tips for restaurants, cafés, shopping, and nightlife
