Essential For Conquering London

Print is large enough to easily read, but overall size of book is small enough to fold and place in most jacket pockets, purses and shoulder bags. Informative enough to be the only reference material you need when leaving your hotel room for your daily excursions through the city.

You can't find an easier map to read!

The subways (tubes) are cleverly color coded and it's easy to decide where to make your connections. Bus numbers are confusing but only rode bus one time since tube system is so clean, quick and efficient.

Most useful map of Central London.

I am a frequent traveler to London, and have worn out more than one copy of this excellent map! Among its best features are locations of prominent buildings and numbers of bus routes. Don't leave home without it!

The London travel "bible"

I have used this mapguide since 1990 -- it is my "bible" in London. Far more portable and much less overwhelming than "London A-Z," this mapguide contains everything a traveller in London will need. If I could only take one book to London, this would be the one.

A comprehensive and easy-to-read pocket map guide to London

I have lived in London and visit there extensively. This pocket guide is the most comprehensive I have found. It is easy to read for a newcomer, but in-depth enough for a really experienced Londonphile. As only one example, the map delineates the location of the London Stone, sadly anonymous in modern times (and on any other map I have ever used), but historically significant. The guide includes locations of a host of destinations, including theatres, significant buildings, museums, etc, etc. My only complaint about the guide is the same for any map of the city; detail pages do not step far enough out of the core downtown areas. Overall, an excellent rating.
