One that dares to be honest, hip, and fun? Look no more.

You′ll get the lowdown on restaurants, lodging, and shopping, and even find out what the locals think of you. "Like being taken around by a savvy local," said the New York Times. "Hipper and savvier than other guides," concurred Diversion magazine. Never shy about confronting the issues, the Irreverents are guides to real travel in the real world.
London swings once again in the smart, savvy Frommer′s Irreverent Guide to London, a deliciously honest insider′s look at Great Britain′s Gotham. Want to know where the royals kick back?
