Fodor's See It Britain is perfect for travelers who want to understand English history and culture before they arrive, and experience the country like a native Brit while they're there.
Overflowing with brilliant color photography, this is the only illustrated guide that provides the practical information that you need while traveling—complete restaurant and hotel reviews with exact prices for lodging and dining (not ranges), plus time-saving tips and how to avoid crowds, exact admission prices to key sights, great photo stops, and special notes on "kid-friendly" attractions throughout.
Hotels
Our detailed reviews represent the best accommodations in Britain, in all price ranges. From five-star luxury hotels to low-budget pubs (if you can stand a little late night noise), we'll tell you what to expect in terms of price and quality through extensive coverage of hotels and their surrounding neighborhoods, exact prices of double-occupancy rooms (including breakfast), plus pictures of hotel facilities and guestrooms.
Restaurants
If you want to experience the best that Britain has to offer, pay particular attention to our outstanding restaurant coverage that will help you choose from the 5,000 local eateries that cater to every budget and dining experience. From affordable, fish and chips at local pubs to places where you can splurge on a romantic, candlelit dinner—like Midsummer House Restaurant in Cambridge—you'll find it in See It Britain. Each review covers house signature dishes, ambiance, actual prices for a two-course lunch and a three-course dinner (for two people), hours of operation, and what transportation will get you there.
The Sights
Whether you want to relax at a spa in Bath, watch the sun set from a deserted Pembrokeshire beach, see a city from the top deck of a double-decker bus, or go clubbing at Fabric in London, See It Britain will take you there. Accessibly written to help you navigate throughout the country without missing a thing, each attraction includes exact admission prices, what galleries and museums not to miss, and where to stop for quick bites and refreshing drinks along the way. Sights are also rated for their "value", "walkability", "historic and cultural interest", plus we suggest fantastic "photo stops" and entertaining and age-appropriate "kid-friendly" attractions throughout the book.
What to Do?
Our shopping walks will lead you to cutting-edge fashions to fit all budgets, from hip streetwear to expensive fashions for your feet. But, Britain has much more to offer than just sight-seeing and shopping. Fodor's See It Britain provides insider information on classical, theatrical, and cinematic performances, Britain's music scene (live jazz to underground youth centres), nightlife, spectator and activity sports, and festivals and events.
Atlas and Maps
Detailed neighborhood maps are incorporated throughout the book to help you navigate on historic walks, shopping tours, or to find a restaurant. Plus, a 16-page atlas details each road and path with highlights of important landmarks, parks, metro stations, and car parking areas.
Fodor's See It™
A brand-new series that shows you before you go, guides you while you're there, and makes the perfect keepsake on your return.

reviewed Fodor's See It Britain on July 20, 2014 Fodor's See It Britain
In 1773 Samuel Johnson undertook a journey to the Hebrides, accompanied by the ever faithful James Boswell. Travelling at the slow pace of the eighteenth century it took them 83 days to complete the journey. Reading at my own slow pace it has taken me somewhat longer to complete the book - this would be a good book to study but its hard work at the end of a long day.
It is held together by two key tensions. The date of Johnson's trip is 28 years after the final Jacobite uprising and 3 years before the publication of The Wealth of Nations, both key dates in the history of Scotland. Johnson is drawn to the highlands by the hope of finding the kind of Clan culture that was destroyed at Culloden, a sort of pre-modern society held together by older and more Romantic values. But as he admits what he came to find was already dead. Instead he provides a very sober commentary on life on the islands, readily adopting the language of political economy - deploring emigration and calling for agricultural improvements. (What is interesting is that Johnson finds the scenery that draws most modern visitors to the highlands deplorable and desolate).
However in contrast to Johnson's highly serious description is Boswell's accompanying account of Johnson's progress, which paints a different and more entertaining picture. Johnson is something of a conversational brawler, never entering a conversation unless he hopes to provoke a lively discussion, which he, of curse, gets the best of. Amusing as Boswell's accounts of Johnson are though, I find Boswell's own style annoying and ingratiating.
