Based upon the largest survey of restaurant-goers in the UK, this Harden's bestseller is the discerning London restaurant goer's bible. Objective, reliable, and covering over 1,650 pubs, cafés and curry houses across the capital, the guide has been put together with user-friendliness as a top priority: with extremely comprehensive indexes and 19 pages of maps. Pithy reviews pull no punches, and all entries are rated (based upon the survey) for food, service and ambience.

Now in its 8th edition -- and published in association with Rémy Martin -- the only UK guide focussed on places that 'real' people eat in - that is to say pubs, curry houses and chippies as well as the formal country house hotels and temples of gastronomy beloved by other guides. It becomes ever-more comprehensive, covering over 1,700 restaurants in the UK's major cities, plus Dublin. As with the London guide, views and ratings are based on the UK's largest detailed annual survey of restaurant goers.

The indispensable guide for all party planners and hosts, this guide features over 1,000 venues in the capital as well as its outskirts. Entries are supplemented by detailed indexes, party services directory, useful checklists and -- new in this edition -- hints from top party professionals.

Using the same winning formula as our restaurant guides, this is the first UK hotel guide based on a survey of ordinary hotel guests. Based on feedback from some 2,500 "real people", it informs you of the places large and small that are worth truffling out (and warns you of a few which are not). It offers coverage of some 1,000 establishments across the UK and Ireland, as well as selections in Paris and New York.

The most comprehensive reference book ever published to any aspect of London life.
