The author, a Latin teacher and the author of a number of texts on Latin, had researched the subject for ten years in order to make the book a comprehensive film and street index covering over 750 films and 1,500 London streets.

[2] Cinedelica found the book to be a wealth of information for film buffs, opining that it offers "detail over and above the call of duty", and that the book offered "fascinating stuff too, both for the film fan and indeed anyone interested in the capital."

They also praised the book's coverage of key locations for blockbusters and lesser-known or long-forgotten flicks, enjoying that the book even offers details about even "ridiculously obscure" TV spin-offs like Man About The House listed alongside cult classics like Blow-Up.

The review summarized by writing that London Film Location Guide was "incredibly detailed, well-written and well thought out".
