Good. Just good.
Sent to someone coming to visit London so they could get it in their heads where things were. Great item, perfectly suited needs. To be totally honest the London A-Z is better, but as it's the standard among locals I guess that's to be expected.

Good item, no worries about it. I'd buy it again. x.

Streetwise London
Very good map for the first time traveler. . It is waterproof & will fit in your pocket. . Many small streets are not listed & the Mass-transit system needs work. . . If you use the underground, don't buy this map.

Convenient design, but inadequate detail
But many smaller streets in central London are NOT even named on the map and are not listed in the index. The Streetwise London map is very convenient if you limit yourself to central London and only need to find important attractions and/or streets of major or moderate significance. This was definitely a problem for me in finding smaller hotels, restaurants, etc. and lesser tourist attractions. In addition, the map includes some decent subway information, but nothing about buses. The reason for these inadequacies appears to be that the map is not detailed enough for there to be room to label the smaller streets and lesser tourist attractions. In summary, I suspect that this map will work better for first-time visitors than for repeat visitors.
