 Rating:  - most helpful because it includes bus routesI took several maps to London, but this proved by far the most useful because it shows enough of the bus routes to give an idea of how to get places. The London underground is efficient but involves a lot of steps and tunnels that my partner couldn't handle, so figuring out bus routes proved essential. (You do need a magnifying glass to read the bus numbers.) The booklet form is easy to carry and use, and the map gives plenty of detail. Rating: - Indespensible!We've visited London more than 20 times over the last 10 years to visit family, and we still use the millenium edition we picked up in 1999 at a shop down in Soho.

Also this is about the only map I can find with bus lines. Rating: - Great guide... choose this over StreetwiseThis is an excellent map for getting to know London, as it says in many of the other reviews. The main reason I'm writing is that I was on the fence between getting this guide or the Streetwise maps for a recent trip. I ended up getting this mapguide for London and the one for Paris, but we used Streetwise for Barcelona, and I definitely found that the map books are far superior. The books show a level of detail that Streetwise can't match. We walked all over London and never found so much ... Read More Browse for similar items by category:
