Some cities around the world make guidebooks obsolete on a near-annual basis, and development wipes out "charming countryside" faster than a speeding bullet train. So it is strangely comforting to find out that a modern reprint of Bradshaw's Illustrated Hand Book to London and its Environs, originally produced in 1862, still holds up.
Fans of Michael Portillo's TV series, Great Railway Journeys, will recognize the Guide, which is often referenced in the series. The guidebook was originally created by the man who first developed railway timetables - which were first called "Bradshaws".
Much of what makes travel so satisfying is a kind of time travel, after all. It's fun to clutch this leather-looking volume with traditional gold titling and stare up at a major London monument, comparing the original engravings to the full-color, three-dimensional reality.
Is this the only guidebook you'll need for modern London? No - you'll be better off with an Eyewitness Guide or similar, or an app for your smart phone. "The important to budget travel is to prepare in front. When it comes along to family trips, globetrotting, well-deserved vacations and/or going to see new places we have never been before, the reality of cost and budgeting is often in the back of our heads. Considering and consuming our travel budget correctly is a consideration for most families. Curbing expending and expenses, while still enjoying your vacation to its fullest, is the key to certain success and fiscal obligation. Your pocketbook and family will thank you! The thought regarding protecting money while traveling is simple: Even if your personal budget is really tight, you can still take a break and enjoy life! Simply put, life is just too short to never step out of the door or departing the homestead! Also remembering that while traveling, regardless of whether on a resources or not, even the smallest of things can all add op to a large vacation or travel charge!..". And the engraving quality varies - from nice and sharp to slightly soft. But as a way of enhancing your pleasure in your trip, and adding a few now-forgotten facts to your understanding of London, it's well worth while.
