“LONDON AZ” — THE PERFECT WAY TO FIND YOUR WAY WHEN OUT FOR A STROLL

Filed under: Travel hints,Travel Magazines — tmooresr @ 12:08 pm

I am a very experienced traveler to London;  I have had a wonderful home in London for most of my life, and I either own or lease over 53 London flats for our London visitors.  But, I am never without a pocket size LONDON AZ GUIDE.  I use it mostly for my frequent walks.  Over the years, I have placed a copy in most of the flats for visitors (and ask they remain there for future visitors–Hm!) because I understand what it is like being a first-time visitor in a large European city.  Copies of LONDON AZ are for sale in every corner postcard / magazine shop, and it is one of the first items I suggest a visit acquires.  A copy can be purchased on line in US dollars here in the US, or on line from Britain;  I am attaching several places to acquire.  I recently bought a copy at Barnes and Noble in Salt Lake City as a small gift for friends who were off to London for their first trip to one of the greatest cities on earth–certainly my favorite.  Often I enjoy being LOST only because I discover “serendipities” which really make my day.  But when I need to reach somewhere very quickly, I check the LONDON A/Z for shortcuts.  For whatever reason, I suggest every visitor to London have a copy of this important paperback travel assistance.  I am not much for fold-out maps that open up like table cloths while I am standing on a street corer–only to be embarrassed when a Pole or Albanian comes up and asks if I need help.  Easier and better to have a pocket edition of LONDON A/Z.  Amen to that.

Find the street in the listing and then check the page!  BINGO–you re there.

TIME OUT MAGAZINE: First two things to do after arriving at your flat are OYSTER CARD and TIME OUT MAGAZINE

Filed under: Travel Magazines — tmooresr @ 3:15 am

TIME OUT MAGAZINE is absolutely a necessity for an individual who has just arrived in London.  The magazine tells all about London’s activities.  Be sure this is a priority when you first arrive.  It is available in all the local corner shops

TRAVEL GUIDES

Filed under: Travel Magazines — tmooresr @ 5:37 am

I found this source for all types of travel books.  For those in the United States, you can go to one of the bookstores like Barnes and Noble and order these publications.  As I have written in several posts, I prefer the MICHELIN GUIDE TO LONDON, but you may be wanting more editorializing.  Perhaps some of these publications will interest you:
