The 22nd edition of Time Out London will help visitors to navigate the 2000 year old city, from the many must visits through to the eccentricities and particularities that give London its flavor. Time Out keeps you abreast of the latest in terms of cultural events, entertainment, restaurants, shopping, bar and pub scene, as well as taking you to the out-of-the-way neighborhoods in the throes of gentrification. Day trips and local excursions are also recommended, as rolling hills, seaside walks and ancient cities are all within your grasp. Whether your stay is brief or lengthy, Time Out will help you make the most of your time.

Time Out London for Londoners is an insider's guide like no other, this must-have book contains everything you'll ever need to know about the city. Borough by borough, this guide takes readers through the day-to-day life that tourists don't see. Each area is dissected by way of facts and figures (council tax, transport, schools, rents), by amenities (restaurants, cafés, pubs, bars, parks, shops, sports facilities), and by atmosphere (for families, singles, culture, sport). The guide also reveals whether an area is on the way up and what the proposals are for its future.

Madrid has gone from shanty town to imperial capital in the last seven centuries. The local writers of Time Out Madrid assist travelers in seeing the city as a native, suggesting where to stay, eat, shop and experience its cultural offerings. Famed for its wild nights and lazy days, Madrid provides a whole lot more, from spectacular opera productions, chirpy folkloric zarzuela, and cutting-edge cuisine to ancient, tiled tabernas, designer-shoe shopping, and numerous flea markets. Written by resident journalists, Time Out Madrid also covers the artistic jewels housed in the Prado, Thyssen, and Reina Sofia, as well as the etiquette of watching a bullfight or joining in with a flamenco performance, as well as where to stay and how to escape the city heat. Also included are the intriguing stories behind some of the city’s best-known paintings, where to find gourmet tapas, the yoga centers, spas, and Turkish baths. Climbing, skiing, and hang-gliding are all within reach of the city, and suggested trips out of town are also recommended.
