This review is from: Lonely Planet London (Map)

We bought this map because of the wonderful map they had for Paris. This map was terrible. It did not have many of the smaller streets. Do yourself a favor, by a "Time Out" guidebook for London. Their map was excellent; as it should be Time Out is headquartered there.

This review is from: Lonely Planet London (Map)

Having been to London twice and still not seeing it all, I bought this map after losing my trusted map. It is sturdy and easy to handle, but very confusing and not in any georaphical order. I would hate to be a lost tourist in London for the first time relying on this unreliable map.

This review is from: Lonely Planet London (Map)

This is an excellent map of London. Evidently some of the tube information is a bit out of date, but aside from that minor quibble, it is a very sturdy and utilitarian map. I like that it is an accordion fold laminated card format, as it is eminently durable and near waterproof. It would be very difficult to damage.

It is particularly good to gain a 'lay of the land', particularly in the planning stages of a trip. It is quite easy to visualize where you will want to stay, visit, walk and ride. I like that it has a nice 'London walking tour' outlined, and has all prominent landmarks and points of interest clearly labeled. There is also an excellent and complete index, map of West End theatres, an inset map of inner London, and an underground map.

Overall, for initial trip and route planning as well as navigating London's sights, this is an excellent map at a bargain price!

Just got back from London. I thought the map was excellent. It's very durable and fits in your pocket. All sights are laid out and it also includes a tube map. Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars Older map but still pretty good
The map is a fantastic map for your first time in London. The only gripes are that the map is 4 years old, and doesn't reflect London's new area code, nor does it have updated... Read more
