Customer Rating:

Summary: Great for acquainting yourself to the neighborhoods
Comment: Contains in-depth looks at each of the neighborhoods; very useful when cross-referencing with the online realtor web sites when hunting for property. Contains some filler as well, but on the whole very useful if you're moving to greater London.

Summary: First review
Comment: Well's like they say one man's meat is another one's poison. I read several books on buying a place in London and I keep coming to this one. Gives all the facts I need for making a first time decision in buying a house. Most of the other books were for tourists. This book gives detailed facts including council tax rates for each borough. Extremely handy. I wish I could have the info placed on my computer.

Customer Rating:

Summary: Useless
Comment: Unless you don't know how to buy or rent a place AT ALL, like--don't know how to negotiate something--this book it useless. you'd be better off with a phone book with vague descriptions of each region. It doesn't help you as a newbie figure out the best place to live. It's more of just a passive reference--an accumulation of random data. Do not buy--I returned it.
