••• Londons best, first, greatest, oldest, only... •••

Londons Best shows you the best, greatest, oldest, wildest, most thrilling, most peaceful, most unusual and “only” places to visit/experience/eat/drink/shop/party in London.

We include lesser-known London gems alongside tried-and-trusted favorites, and along the way tell you more about London than even the smartest Blue Badge guides let on:

We haven’t simply taken an existing guidebook and crammed it into an App. Instead we’ve written original content with you in mind. Whether you’ve just emerged from a tube station and you’re surfing for the most interesting nearby restaurant, or you already know London but you’re looking for inspiration, or even if you’re just sitting at home, planning a day out, then this simple but powerful App will lead you by the hand:

from the oldest and most traditional restaurant to the coolest bar (and boy, do we mean cool!);
the poshest shopping arcade to the oldest pie ‘n’ mash shop in central London;
the wildest ride to the quietest oasis;
the saddest spot in town to London’s best belly laughs… and much, much more.

Among the 275 superlative sites (and over 1500 specially selected photos) we’ll even introduce you to the capital’s biggest and geekiest Apple.

Finally, remember, you only have to buy it once - its less than the price of a cappuccino - and you get free upgrades for life (just try asking for that at Starbucks…).

Engaging and easy-to-navigate features include:

•Photo slideshows for each entry, so that you know what you’re getting before you go.

•Concise, original text by a London expert.

•The ability to share user comments and mark and save favorites.

•Entries filtered by useful criteria like Eating & Drinking, Shopping, Main Attractions, Author’s Picks, Lesser-known London, Hair-raising, Showtime, Party, Amazing Architecture and more ...

••• About the Author •••

Award-winning travel writer Paul Murphy has been literally and metaphorically walking the streets of London for over 20 years. His London obsession began when he invented Streetwise The Official London Trivia board game. He then walked the talk (and talked the walk) as a guide for top tour team London Walks. Safely back behind his desk he wrote the award-winning Guinness Guide to Superlative London, following this up with London guidebooks for Berlitz and the AA (among others) and subsequently editing several more capital guidebooks for the AA, Time Out and the Daily Telegraph. He has talked extensively about London on BBC radio and in local and national newspapers and has also been the expedia.com London correspondent.
