It has been a while since I have been to London and this book, while not including very many places with which I am familiar, did remind me of many of the things I have enjoyed on my visits. I mentioned a few places to a couple of my friends who live there and got several "I haven't heard of it, sounds great" comments.
I like the organization being by type rather than area since, in seeking quiet places, I am likely to want to know where the best libraries are, or museums, or parks. Another of the guides I just read is specifically about villages and the geographic arrangement there works best. In fact, I will be taking these two books on my next visit.
While I would recommend this to anyone with an interest in London as a place to visit (or live) I think either some familiarity with the city and/or a planned visit will make the book more valuable and interesting. For the armchair traveler, the websites are included so you can do even more visiting virtually. I spent some time looking up several places in particular.
