• The Perfect Companion in London  Jan 24, 2009 (4 of 4 found this helpful)

  Few places in the world have so many little nooks and crannies to discover as London, so a pocket-sized journal that allows YOU to make a personalized record of your time there is worth every penny. It won't tell you WHERE to go, but rather how to get around. I bought this journal after having lived in London for several months. My only regret is not purchasing it sooner. It's become a favorite possession of mine and a tradition! Whenever I'm traveling to a new city, I check to see if a Moleskine City Guide is available. My goal is to have a collection of my travel journals on my coffee table for friends and family to enjoy for years to come. Can your other travel guide books do that? : )

• Very Cool Gift  May 30, 2008 (2 of 2 found this helpful)

  I picked this up for a dear friend who lived in London while attending LSE and has nothing but fond memories. They have EU and USA cities--it's not a Lonely Planet type guide full of places and ideas--this one has maps, street indices and Tube stops for where you might wander, but leaves the driving (and writing) to you. I have owned Moleskine journals for years and this series lives up to the history.

• Fantastic addition to my trip!!  Aug 8, 2009 (1 of 1 found this helpful)

  Having used and loved the Washington DC Moleskine last year for a trip, I was excited to get the London Moleskine for a recent trip to that city, and I wasn't disappointed. The Tube map was infinitely helpful, and the city maps were quite comprehensive. They didn't have every single street, but they had just enough detail to get me where I was going without difficulty. The blank pages were perfect for a trip journal, and I used the pages with the boxes for addresses for postcards and other things I wanted to remember. As the trip was only a week, I didn't even come close to filling it up, but that just leaves room for future trips.
  
  My only suggestion to Moleskine? Have a preprinted area for the user to write in a currency conversion chart. I wrote in my own on the inside front cover, but since they have preprinted areas for other things, I thought this would be handy.
  
  I love these notebooks--in addition to the DC one and the London one, I also bought the Amsterdam one for a trip there (see that review) and I bought the Rome one for a trip there in the fall. Good stuff. :-)

• love these  Nov 19, 2009 

  I got the San Francisco one first and liked it so much that I got the London one as well. Compact and clever design: there are maps and tracing paper so you can make up your own map/walking tour/whatever, and plenty of pages to write on. I filled it up with my observations about my trip to England London, and it will be great to look back through later if I'm returning to London. Make your own travel guidebook!

• Moleskine city books are the best  Oct 15, 2009 

  As an avid wanderer and travel journalist, I am officially addicted to the Moleskine city books. I believe that this was my third purchase. Now, unless you have navigated a city approximately 30 times, this tiny little piece of organizational gold does not replace the need for your beloved Frommers, Lonely Planet, or Rick Steve's guide. But what it does do, is allow you to place entries on the things that you find worthwhile and will eventually allow you to leave the 20 pound guidebook at home.
