5.0 out of 5 stars Older map but still pretty good, March 27, 2003

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 Tube maps. The solution is to just grab an updated Tube map from any Underground station. Not a big deal, but still a major gripe.

But Lonely Planet maps are fantastic - they include walking tours and every major point of interest is covered.

This review is from: Lonely Planet London (Lonely Planet City Maps) (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 Evidently some of the tube information is a bit out of date, but aside from that minor quibble, it is a very sturdy and utilitarian map.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. I also was in Paris and had that Lonely Planet map too. Both were indispensible.
