This item came to me quickly and in very good condition. When I read a book set in London and the action moves through the city, I can follow it in the A to Z and it enhances my understanding of what I'm reading.

London A-Z is an excellent street atlas both for the natives and for the tourists! (I had to return the copy I bought as it was a duplicate. Another family member bought the exact same one!) I was watching a British TV Series recently and in the background of one of the scenes were two man using this exact book! The streets in London can be very confusing for those of us on the other side of "the pond" who are used to streets planned out at right angles to one another. This guide is invaluable to visiting the many neighborhoods of Greater London. You will never get lost if you have this guide.

Initially I couldn't decide which street atlas to purchase,however I saw an episode of Passport To Europe and Samantha Brown was using it so I knew I made the right choice!I like that it has a map of the underground lines and a reference guide to motorways,b roads,one way sreets,footpaths and places of public interest(buildings shopping center's,etc.)Also it markedgolf courseswhich I thought was nice to add.It also has an enlarged map area of central London.The only thing I can say that would have made it easier to understand(it is easy to read,don't get me wrong)is if they would have had a North,South,East,West,marked on each page so you would have a better idea of where you were located and which direction you would need to go depending on where you wanted to head next on your'e travels.All in all very nicely put together and informative map's.

This is a must have book if you are going to London. This is "The Map" of London streets and you will be lost without it. I bought my copy used and can see no reason to buy it new (London Street don't change much). The company I bought it from shipped it in time for my trip. This was not because of my request, just got lucky. I recommend ordering early to be sure it arrives in time.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Atlas of London.
Reviewed in the United States on February 5, 2014

For anyone who has been to London ( or for those going for the first time will soon discover ), street names change fairly often. So you need a book like this to find not only where you are or are going but also where the various sites: historical, theater, shopping, hotel, and other places are. I got one that was a few years old because for the most part things do not change too much within a few years time.

We bought this book to use as a reference on a trip to London. It has all the streets and an full street index. There are 175 pages of maps and 258 pages of street index, with a handful more pages listing hospitals, train stations, etc. I would highly recommend this book for navigating a car to multiple London destinations. For our purposes walking and taking public transit, we will be leaving it at home.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great tool for London lovers

I use this map book all the time when I'm reading English works set in London. We've visited several times, but it's great to have a refresher course on the streets -- since a single street (in American terms) can have 5 or more different names along its distance. I don't find it helpful for travel, since we tend not to visit the suburbs often, but I love the super-detailed maps of the area Central and West End.

If you have a smartphone you can roam around London using GoogleMaps and a lot of the various WiFi hotspots. Unfortunately there are also a lot of areas where you won't be able to get Wifi, so if you don't have your phone running on a UK carrier you'll need to know where you're going! Buy this! You'll need it in London!

I have always used a the AtoZ since I went in 1960. This black and white map is definately to read without a magnifying glass but as it is a facsimile of the very first AtoZ it is enjoyable.

It lists all the streets at the time both with the names then and their original names if necessary. V. Interest.
