Description
London is a spectacular place to visit, and there are endless things to see and do all year round.
In London, Block by Block, illustrator Cierra Block shares 40 maps showing the best places that London has to offer, whether it’s the food or history, culture, shopping, beautiful buildings or gardens. Each map starts with an idea – it might be, Where are the best pancakes in London? What are the places everyone should visit in Marylebone? Or, Where in London can you lose hours browsing the shelves of a beautiful bookstore? From there, Cierra has curated a list of the best places and has painted a charming accompanying map. From best afternoon tea to most impressive views, haunted places and things to do in summer, there really is something for everyone.
This book will be an inspiration for all, whether it’s your first visit to London, you’re a seasoned vacationer or an all-your-life local. That’s the wonderful thing about London – there’s always more to explore!

I’ve followed Cierra on Instagram for quite some time and was so thrilled she came out with a book ahead of a trip with family to London. The way the book is organized and designed and is so perfect – so many great recommendations (many I had never heard of!) and illustrated in a wonderful & timeless manner was the cherry on top!

There are so many fun cultural seasonal tidbits and wonderful ideas and themes of areas and places! We used it and had such a great time checking out the bakeries and cheese shops! I love the illustrations and the writing is an absolute delight! I can’t wait for my next trip!

This book was really fun to read. The illustrations were really charming. It really made London seem easier to navigate.

Bought this for a friend traveling to London for the first time. It’s a small book, but has a ton of recommendations covering all of London including beautiful illustrations. Thinking of getting one for myself for when I travel there.

Such a cute little celebration of London! Always loved exploring the famous city and this has me excited for my next visit. Unfortunately a couple of the corners were crushed when shipped

Just know that there are no maps, only vague pictures painted by the author that won’t help you get anywhere. There are no “block by block” descriptions, only lists of the author’s preferences with a one or two sentence description.

Ottimo prodotto, ha soddisfatto le mie aspettative
anche in considerazione del rapporto qualità prezzo
Consiglio a tutti di usare con tranquillità le offerte Amazon
Arrivato nei tempi che mi erano stati comunicati.

Beautiful book. Well made, excellent paper and binding. Marvellous illustrations. TOTALLY USELESS. No usable maps, no index. No area relatable information. Just lists of random places with addresses connected only by interests like “pastry”, “hot chocolate”, etc. You better already know where you are going, because the order of locations is totally off the chart (lists St Paul’s and the Tower of London as “South Bank”). Pretty book, but NOT a guide. (Pity. I had such high hopes.)

This London guide book is amazing!
The illustrations are beautiful, there are sooo many addresses I checked and will definitely visit one day (I am not from the UK)!
I loved that this guide was written following different categories, so that anyone who wants to visit London can find something cool to do (museums, bookshops, pastries/bakeries, markets…)
I am really happy I’ve found this gem, and will definitely keep in mind the addresses I’ve highlighted, for my future visits to London!
