Summary: Best Map for London
Review: Just got back from a week in London and The London Mapguide proved it has what it takes to get you around the town.My niece who was the "navigator" for our trip turned to me at one point and asked me where I got this great map.
We were armed with numerous travel guides including the A to Z map book as well as local maps etc. but my niece swore by the London Mapguide and we never got lost and found a lot of great pubs and markets etc. as well as the top touring spots.
So, I strongly recommend this mapguide if you are headed to London.It is an investment well made!

Summary: Just bought this
Review: AMAZING. Such a small book, already worth the piddly amount I paid for it and I haven't GONE to london with it yet.It it extermly detailed, showing train sations, routes, bus routes and route numbers, underground map and stops onthe street map, shows bars, restruauntts, cinemas, theatres, cultural, churches, tourist, sites walking tours, the works. it's a full city map - two pages at a time, I think if it were printed as a whoel page it would be a HUGE map, scale is 6" to one mile, so that should give you an idea of what kind of detail it has. Want to see what's north of yoru page? go to the page number listed, there you go! Along that edge it shows the bus routes going to that new page - JUST AMAZING. I know I won't be able to LIVE without this map while there. Parks, monuments, cemetaries, museums - all of it. Imagine my surpise to get it and FIND my hotel before we even get there. I mean it's LISTED on the map! Southwark Rd. at Bear Lane and Burrell! All kinds of hotel are ON the map! Right there! I'm tewo block fromthe New Globe! and 3 blocks from the OLD Globe!<

Summary: Walk London well with this guide
Review: Comprehensive, detailed, easy to use, easy to reference, inexpensive. I walked London, and used the tube, confidently with this in hand for several days; and then, so well had this guide allowed me to absorb London areas and their relationships, I walked London without it!-- Bloomsbury to Fitzrovia to Soho to Covent Garden to Piccadilly to Knightsbridge (admittedly, I had to recheck the guide at the forbiddingly complicated Hyde Park Corner underground walkway). Use this with a good set of suggested walking itineraries-- I found Insight Pocket Guide London particularly useful, detailed, and inexpensive-- and you will make London your own.

Summary: Excellent book, awkward format
Review: I found this map book extremely helpful on my recent stay in London, particularly the information on bus routes. I would never have had the courage to take buses, and I am glad the book gave me the info I needed to do so without fear of getting lost. The tube may be quick, but there is nothing like sitting in the front topside of a double-decker bus to really see London! I found the dimensions of the book somewhat awkward, and I kept wishing it was skinny enough to stick in my back pocket, since I wasn't carrying a bag. As is, I was always having to hold it, and therefore afraid of losing it. But all in all, you couldn't ask for more information, or a clearer map of an often confusing city. Recommended.

Summary: Updated version even better
Review: I have used the earlier edition for the past 5-6 years and would't go to London without it. Even the English guides use this book. I just received the 9/5/2000 edition and it contains even more information. Now, many of the well known stores are marked as well as some of the 'must visit' pubs and restaurants. It is hard to believe that this one guide contains all the bus and underground routes, hotels, museums, theaters, shops, places of interest. If you only buy one guide to London, this should be it!

Summary: Indispensable and amazingly detailed!
Review: I went to London with this map book and some general guidebooks two years ago. The maps in this book were incredibly useful and detailed -- better than any of the other books' maps, without question. Sounds silly to say, but I can't believe how much I appreciate the fact that even hotels are marked on its pages! Helps when you're planning your next trip, too! You will not regret buying this.

Review: I'm old and my vision is not what it used to be. The Mapguides maps are actually big enough to read without being segmented into more pieces than a jigsaw puzzle. The Eyewitness guides are very good. I especially like the walking tours, but with a bit of research, you can litter the pages of the Mapguide with enough notes to roll your own tour.
