The source book for anyone who lives in London or who thinks they might like to try life in the capital. Borough by borough, Time Out takes you through the London that tourists don't see. Each area is dissected, by way of facts and figures (council tax, transport, schools, house prices, rents and so on) and by amenities (parks, markets, sports facilities, arts venues, play areas). We reveal whether an area is good for families or singles, whether culture or sport takes precedence, if an area is safe or simply dull, and whether the area is on the way up or past its peak. The best restaurants, bars and shops will be featured, from local delis and cafes to buzzing restaurants and chi-chi boutiques; and crammed with recreational ideas: from Sunday afternoon walks to entertaining friends and relatives during their stay. With colour maps and photos, and pages of essential phone numbers and websites, this will be a must-have London resource.
