This is a guide to eating out in London on a budget. The criterion is that you should be able to get a two-course meal (or ethnic equivalent) with a drink and service for under #20. The guide includes around 500 restaurants, all with full reviews and listings details. The guide is arranged by area (though with cuisine and alphabetical indexes), allowing budget diners to easily locate the best places to eat wherever they are in the city. In addition to the top cheap eateries, the guide includes details of the usually more pricey restaurants that offer great value deals at certain times of the day.
Not "cheap" at all. Hardly any pictures. Format and layout made reading a pain. But ultimately 1 star because this book doesn't do what it purports to. I borrowed other guidebooks on London that weren't books introducing "cheap eats", and yet the places listed in those guidebooks were cheaper than those in this book. What exactly constitutes "cheap"? Is paying £12-24 for a meal "cheap"? If you think so, then this book is for you. And there were even places listed in this book that were above £24 a meal, mind you.
