The Lonely Planet city guide series the idea of you needing one point of contact to get to know a city. Hence the 6ixDegrees part of the title. Now the trick with this series is that it attempts to show you how once you have a single point of contact things can spiral from there so that you meet all sorts of weird and wonderful people and various off-beat and insider only glimpses of a city.
And that brings us to the crux of the matter. These are not guides to a city telling you the best deal you can score on a tour of the Tower of London. Any idiot can get themselves on a 24 hour hop on/hop off bus tour. I know - I did it! This series aims at delving a little deeper into various niche aspects of the city in question. The product descpription for this particular instalment is very good as it gives you an idea of the shennanigans host Asha Gill gets up to in this 47 minute travelogue.
Personally, having seen a number of the 'must see' sights of London already I took a bit of a shine to this instalment and in fact the series itself as I am totally onboard with the whole concept of quirky travel. If you are after a more serious explanation of what to see and how to see it you would probably be better off grabbing a city guide from either Lonely Planet or one of their competitors.
So I give this four stars for a short blast of London weirdness, but if you were not aware of what you were getting then yes, it would be a real disappointment.

This is not what I expected. It is like those six degrees of separation shows where one person encounters another person, etc. It should not be listed as a travel guide at all. It's more about these quirky people than it is about London. We wanted a travel guide that highlighted places not to miss. This is full of weird little places only people who live there would ever go to. Very disappointing.
