Book Description

Series: City Map | Publication Date: January 1, 2005

The broad sweep of the Thames, the view from the London Eye, the markets of Greenwich and Spitalfields, the parks of Hampstead and Richmond, the nightlife of Soho and Clerkenwell - Navigate them all with this handy, invaluable City Map.

Highlights include:

• Tate Modern - Nearly five million visitors have turned this remodelled power station into Europe's most successful contemporary art gallery.

• Westminster Abbey - The well from which the Anglican Church draws its inspiration, Westminster Abbey has long been pivotal to English history.

• St. Paul's Cathedral - To many tourists, it's a dome, a whole lot of stairs and a view. But to Londoners themselves the landmark St. Paul's Cathedral resonates as a symbol of British grit.

• Buckingham Palace - Built in 1705 as Buckingham House, this palace has provided the royal family's London lodgings since 1837.

• Tower of London - Site of royal beheadings and murders, this well-preserved castle complex is one of London's three World Heritage Sites.

• British Museum - The UK's largest museum is very much one of antiquity and empire, with cast Egyptian, Etruscan, Greek, Oriental, and Roman galleries.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent map, February 17, 2008

This review is from: Lonely Planet London City Map (Map)

This is a great map. I was in London for a study abroad program for three months and used it constantly. I lived far outside the city (unfortunately) and commuted in on the tube every day, spending most of my time around the Bloomsbury area, but eventually exploring everything from Hammersmith to the East End and beyond. While it is true this map focuses mainly on the heart of the city, it has good details and is laminated for those rainy days. I highly recommend it.

Only good for central london. It is a small and basic map with a London guide (let's goes guide) binded in between. I guess it's good for tourists for the week, but not for me b/c i will be living outside central (just downtown) london.
