Isn't a "city break" taking one or two days off to clear your mind from city stuff? Maybe city breakers are people who like to take a city break...

Does it fit the context?

yes!! actually it is! i can't find a translation in spanish!

can u help me?

It's kind of difficult to find an exact translation for those words but I would say something like
"para aquellos que quieren alejarse de la ciudad por unos d�as"
"para aquellos que desean descansar de la ciudad por unos d�as

there may be other options, hope it helps anyway.

I agree with Sandra. In Argentina we also say: "para aquellos que quieran hacerse una escapada a..."

If this expression is used in other Latin-American countries or Spain, then this could be another choice. :-)

That's right, in Argentina we use "escapada" for city break.

How did you write the rest of the title? Maybe saying something like "para los que quieran escaparse de Londres" or something kind of catchy.

Hi there!

I frankly think the idea is the opposite
To take a city break means to go and spend a few days in a particular city.
So in this case, it refers to activities in London..

the best

Lucrecia tiene razon. Es un libro acerca de que hacer mientras estes en Londres.
