This is another pocket book map combination for London. I figure it couldn’t hurt to check out.
It’s even got half a ticket inside for something called “Bombay Dreams” for July 28th, 2002 at 4pm. Good times!
This one is spiral bound so I have to be more careful with it than I am with the “NFT” book.
I like the rating system! *** Not to be missed, ** Highly recommended, * Recommended and (*) Recommended for families with children
Well, I found the first entry that I could not find. The legend says it’s supposed to have the Map number that the place is on. It does not. I guess I could just flip through the 40 maps trying match it’s location.
But I’m not going to. I’ve got yet another pocket guide to London that I’ll try out instead!
DNF! And 1 star.

I've been to London three times now and have used this each time. Fits nicely in your pocket and has been perfect in helping us find our way around quickly and easily. Gives you all the locations of the touristy things to see and do and makes it easy to find the nearest tube stations. I wouldn't visit London without it.
