AUTHOR THANKS David ElseAs always, massive appreciation goes to my wife Corinne, for joining me on many of my research trips around England, and for not minding when I locked myself away for 12 hours at a time to write this book – and for bringing coffee when it gets nearer 16 hours. Thanks also to the co-authors of this book; my name goes down as coordinating author, but I couldn’t have done it without this team. Finally, thanks to Cliff Wilkinson, my commissioning editor at Lonely Planet London, and to all the friendly faces in the production department at Lonely Planet Melbourne who helped bring this book to final fruition.

Oliver BerryThanks to Cliff Wilkinson for the England gig, David Else for keeping us on course, Belinda Dixon for co-authoring and moral support, and David Carroll, Dan Corbett and the rest of the SPP team for being there whenever we needed you! Special thanks to Susie, Molly and Gracie Berry, and to all the people I met out on the road.

Fionn DavenportA huge thanks to John Ryan, Emma Fox, Andy Parkinson, Louise Latham, Andrew Stokes, Erica Dillon, Sylvia O’Malley, Tina Snowball and

Andy Hook. As always, thanks to Caroline for putting up with me.

Marc Di DucaA huge ‘ta’ goes to all the staff at tourist offic-es across the Southeast (those that haven’t been axed, that is) but especially the helpful guys in Brighton, Hastings, Canterbury and Rye. Also thanks to David Else for his guid-ance throughout, Therese at Canterbury Cathedral and my Kyiv parents-in-law Mykola and Vira for looking after our son Taras while I was on the road. And last, but certainly not least, heartfelt gratitude must go to my wife Tanya, for all those long days we spend apart.

Belinda DixonHuge thanks go to Lonely Planet’s behind-the-scenes team who magic the words from my battered notebooks onto the shelves (technical wizards, take an oh-so-hard-earned bow); Cliff for the gig; everyone encountered on the road for tips, facts and countless kind-nesses; and JL for (still) making me smile.

Damian HarperMy hat is off to a long list of helpful people, including Daniel Hands, Bill Moran, Matthew Scudamore, Daisy Harper, George Whitman, Jane Egginton, Richard Samuels and the helpful staff at Waterstone’s (Piccadilly). A slap on the back for the folk of the West Mid-lands and London for unflagging chirpiness in the face of driving rain would not go amiss, while big thanks are further extended to the staff at Lonely Planet for helping in the pro-duction of this book.

Anna KaminskiI’m grateful for all the great advice from friends, family, locals and tourism staff. In particular, I’d like to thank the Cambridge crew – Subo, Dawn, Sara, Sarah, Steve and my parents; the Oxford crew – Nicolas, Bill and Georgia; Colin in Cheltenam; Joanna and Gabriel Dick in Ely; Genie in Southend-on-Sea; and Sonia and Matt, my fellow gourmets. A big thank you to David Else and commissioning editors Cliff Wilkinson and Katie O’Connell.

Catherine Le NevezCheers first and foremost to Julian, and to all of the locals, tourism professionals and fellow travellers who provided insights, inspiration and good times throughout Nottingham and the East Midlands. Thanks especially to Ade Andrews (and Erin Huckle) for the inter-view, and to Becca and crew for the castle adventure. Thanks also to David Else, Cliff Wilkinson, Katie O’Connell, Angela Tinson, Mandy Sierp and everyone at Lonely Planet. As ever, merci encore to my parents, brother and belle-soeur.

Neil WilsonThanks to the many Yorkshire folk who freely offered advice and recommendations, to the tourist office staff for answering dumb ques-tions, and to the eerie Andy Dextrous in York. Thanks also to Lonely Planet’s editors and cartographers, and to Carol for her company in York and Harrogate’s restaurants.
