Joe Fullman has lived in London for 39 years—or, to put it another way, all his life. It is, as far as he′s concerned, the best city in the world, and having worked as a travel writer for more than a decade, he′s had the opportunity to compare it to some very distinguished rivals. Joe has written on destinations including England, Berlin, Venice, Las Vegas, Costa Rica, and Belize. He is the author of Frommer′s London Free & Dirt Cheap and a contributor to Frommer′s London 2012.
