We highlight everything a hip, young crowd wants: the club and music scene, the best bars, hanging out, retro shopping, cheap eats and sleeps, the gay and lesbian scene, a fresh take on all the cultural sights, and more! Hanging Out in England covers London, Manchester, Oxford and much more, all with dozens of maps.Customer Reviews:
Good book, but who wrote the first review? The publisher???.......2001-09-15
Northern England section - A Review.......2001-07-06
Hanging Out In England covers all the ins and outs of backpacking through England. It tells you where to go, how to find the hip crowd once you're there, and where to crash once you've partied and are ready to drop. It delivers on affordable hostels and B&B's, the best places for inexpensive food and drink (fish and chips, mate?), and tips on where and how to chat-up the locals. It is, in essence, a travel guide for the modern vagabond generation, the young and young-at-heart travelers who set off on sojourning escapades with what few possessions they can carry on their shoulders.
Contributing writers Kristy Apostolides (Northern England), Dominique Herman (London) and Lauren Koch (Southern England) recount the experiences of their journeys with write-ups that are at times irreverent and often entertaining. They have seemingly sought out the nooks and crannies of their respective regions, exposing areas that are rarely seen by tourists. A refreshing departure from the usual stuffiness of "mainstream" travel guides, Hanging Out In England delivers a first-hand and candid report on the great isle nation, exposed in all its brash glory. From Liverpool to Leeds and London to Manchester, from the White Cliffs of Dover to the Scottish boarder, along Hadrian's Wall and centuries old walkways, these authors have done the footwork and come back to deliver a guide for any traveler who wants to venture out on his or her own and experience England the way the locals live it.

Changed my life.......2003-06-05
All the locations for hip convents are detailed, and mapped out. The Italian culture is described in intimate detail, by some of the finest wordsmiths since Dante. The restaurant reviews are so well written you almost see the stains from the extra virgin olive oil. There is section that descibes Italian fashion. The tip on the large lapels was most helpful for my nights on the town. Common Italian slang that peppers the pages makes this an educational as well enjoyable read. "molla benny"
I love this book, no matter where I travel, even in the USA I read it for area recommendations.
Good book.

Good Supplementary Guide--Don't Use as Your Primary Guide!.......2003-05-22
The fact is, unlike the other guides, this one is aimed at a very specific subset of backpackers: young people who want to party, experiment, or do things that the other guides probably wouldn't talk about because their lawyers won't let them. (In fact, "Let's Go" has a bad habit of derisively labeling as "frat-like" any bar or hostel populated by people who look like they might have actually been on a date sometime before their senior year of college.) The drug culture in every city is given a thorough treatment and they are pretty precise about where certain things are okay and where they're not. This book does not treat you with kid gloves or worry about the possibility of offending you--it simply tells you everything it can and then leaves you to decide what to do with that information. Use it, ignore it, or be offended, they don't really care.
Another underlooked benefit of this book is that so few backpackers have it. The problem with "Let's Go" and "Lonely Planet" is that EVERYBODY has a copy. This means that every hostel, restaurant, or bar listed in them will be on the tip of most backpackers' tongues. With "Hanging Out in Europe," I had a completely different list of hostels in case the ones in "Lonely Planet" were booked up, and a different set of bars to suggest while everyone else in the hostel was itching to go to the one with the star next to it in "Let's Go." In addition, each city has a section full of suggestions for conversation starters with the locals (from which we got that tidbit about insulting the French Belgians to curry favor with the Flemish Belgians, sparking another reviewer's outrage). But these little tidbits are great and are somewhat unique to this book.
So the skinny on this book is: Buy it if you're part of its target demographic (young, non-PC, itching to party). But make sure you supplement it with a copy of "Let's Go" or "Lonely Planet," where you'll get more accurate info and more tips on where to take in the culture.
A decent reference, but not the authority.......2003-04-10
What's bad:
-There was no information on European culture and customs. The typical traveller would not be able to enter many of these places due to their own behaviour.
-The book gave no hints on cheap travel or ways to save money. They should have had information about various rail deals, alternate food and lodging ideas, etc.
-Most of the information was either outdated or false. Phone numbers were wrong, some spots only open a few months a year and prices were way off. Yes, cool spots appear and disappear overnight, but the book led me to places which seemed never to exist in the first place.
-The information is geared to make North Americans feel at home. 'Hanging out' shouldn't mean 'finding American-style places in Europe'. Most of the recommended hang out spots were either public touristy places or American-style bars.
-The book seemed to encourage drug use. Although decriminalised, drugs are still illegal in Europe and should not be consumed by foreign travellers.
-The authors were obnoxious and downright degrading to some cultures. In the Antwerp section, they encouraged the readers to insult the French Belgians to endear themselves to the Dutch ones.
Like any guide book, this one was outdated before it even hit the press. If you use it, double and triple check sites before you go or wind up being disappointed.
It's a good read just to get the feel for a city, but you'll find the same information and more just by 'hanging out' on your own, without a book to tell you how to be cool.
Great book - hilarious and highly recommended!.......2001-12-27
A fairly repetitive and often offensive book.......2001-02-15
a perfect pice of frankenstien.......2000-12-29
seven steps to adventure with a Frankenstien guidebook 1. Buy "Let's Go Eruope" 2. Buy "Hanging Out" 3. Find a friend with another guidebook of interest 4. Select destination and rip out appropriate chapters. 5. Tape or Staple them together. 6. Ditch the rest of the books at the hostel. 7. Head towards some interesting sounding area or location with a sense of humor and adventure- see something that sounds familiar? Voila! You have three different opinions about it if it is in your Frankenstien guidebook. (if not, you have made an exciting discovery! Hurrah!)
don't forget- a gidebook is basicly disposable. it will be out of date by the time you get home. so get messy! rip it up! write all over it! get rid of the chapters you are not going to use! (those things are damn heavy, and really, are you going to use that chapter on iceland?) compare, contrarast and dicover! Buon Divertimento!

I would have not made it through Europe without this book.......2004-12-18
An entertaining read.......2004-06-14
Good, but there were some inaccuracies.......2004-05-26
The sections on pubs and clubs were a bit out dated. One of the clubs in Barcelona no longer existed. The Paris section sent us into a part of the city that was a high crime area (two Parisians we later spoke to were amazed that we had gone there). This type of information is difficult to keep up to date because of the nature of these establishments. The information seemed outdated in 2002, so as summer of 2004 approaches it is only going to be more so.
The book is useful, but take it's recommendations on bars and clubs with a grain of salt, as they say. Don't be shy. Talk to local people your age about where the cool spots are; they'll have the best ideas.
So much better than let's go.......2003-03-16
Essential for young people.......2002-06-06
