Synopsis

Not for Tourists London 2010, half anti-guidebook, half urban manual, is the ultimate little black book. Packing it all in and showing where to get a perfect pint, re-spoke your bike, or find the nearest cashpoint, the new guide is guaranteed to make you laugh out loud, even on an achingly slow bus journey to work. Whether you've called London your home for decades or just arrived last night, you ignore at your peril this new 2010 edition of Not for Tourists with its caustic neighbourhood summaries and refreshing, politically incorrect descriptions. Written by Londoners for Londoners, NFT presents the city along with its good, its bad and its downright hideous, in a format that is more accessible than the Yellow Pages. In over 600 pages of glorious content, the pocket-sized survival handbook covers 152 neighbourhoods from Hornsey to Tooting Bec, from Bow Common to Chiswick, as well as Parks, Sports, Transport, and Arts & Entertainment. Designed for street-savvy Londoners, commuters, business travellers and yes, tourists, NFT London includes a highly graphical map for every neighbourhood featured. User-friendly map icons highlight everything from post offices, supermarkets, libraries, lazy Sunday lunch spots and cinemas, to bars, DIY stores, hospitals and banks. So if you're meeting friends in an unfamiliar part of the city or find yourself off the beaten track, NFT is a must-have resource. Thanks to readers' feedback last year, the guide now features 4,500 listings. It has packed in hundreds of new entries and a further six new regional overview maps, as well as revising the hilarious guide sections at the back. But NFT doesn't waste your time by serving up five zillion options just because they're in a database: contributors have gone back to eat, drink, dance and shop their way through last year's listings to check that they're still worth knowing.
