Counter-argument: The reason there are so many details about London is that London is the actual main character. Matthew simply becomes an avatar for the city, but the city itself has always been and always will be the protagonist of the story.

To put it simply...
The book series is absolutely amazing. It has quite the plot, and it's incredibly imaginative, especially by way of incorporating traditional, natural magic (such as wands, wizards, pixies, the like) into an urban setting and making it somehow believable. It does have a bit of a tendency to overdo the details, but then again that's to emphasize just how in-tune Matthew and the Angels are with the city of London. It's got quite a few funny bits, too, especially those concerning Matthew meeting either Oda or his apprentice. It's worth a good read.
