This is the kind of guidebook you bring with you on your trip, not the kind you read in advance of your trip. While it has some interesting background and history on landmarks and institutions, half of the book is composed of maps and points of interest (restaurants, shops, hospitals) in each map area. So it's super useful if you find yourself in (or headed to) a particular area and want to find something specific in that very specific location. Otherwise it won't give you much context or insight into the city as a whole.
The writing style is pithy, a little sardonic, and sounds like your clever Londoner friend. I would have rated this guide much higher just for that, except it committed a fatal guidebook error - it's impossible to tell when this guide was last updated. I read the 2025 edition (and yes, I made sure) yet so many things in the guide were out of date. Events that hadn't taken place in over a decade listed in the calendar. Updates "scheduled to happen" in 2013 or 2014. Restaurants that are long closed. Not sure what's actually been updated here year over year, but there were far too many outdated tidbits to make me trust the guide. Employ at your own risk.
