In-depth, accurate, and detailed, Frommer's offers authoritative but fun-to-use coverage of all the top sights, plus lots of off-the-beaten track towns and attractions. We'll show you the best of London, including its world-class theater scene, then set off to explore the rest of England. You'll admire the dreaming spires of Oxford, hike the windswept moors and the lovely Lake District, go antiquing in the Cotswolds, tour the spectacular gardens and manor houses of Kent, and meet the locals in the most charming country pubs and tea houses.
You'll find candid reviews of a huge selection of accommodations in all price ranges, from chic boutique hotels and stately country house lodgings to homey B&Bs. It's all accompanied by dozens of color maps, the latest trip-planning advice on everything from bargain airfares to rail passes, money-saving tips, and a complete shopper's guide.
