Atlases & Maps, London 

Unlike streets in the US, London's roads do not follow a logical numbering system (or even a logical system, for that matter!), so navigating you and your family around the maze of dead-ends and one-way streets can be a nightmare! Knowing the quickest routes from A to B is a learning process, and is largely a matter of time. But here is your escape route. This pocket-sized street atlas has been the London cabby's bible for years. It is by far the best-selling, all-color street atlas of the city, covering every street, lane, highway, mew, garden, close, glen, river, bridge and motorway. In addition, it shows the tube and mainline train stations, gardens, parks, schools and major points of interest, making it your best friend on a trip to this historic city. A complete index lists every entry, so you can get from Baker Street to the Tate Gallery and back to Leicester Square in the evening without getting frustrated and spending hours going round in circles. With this book in hand, you'll be able to direct you and your family without any hesitation, and you'll also know when the cabby is taken you the "long way home" (haven't I seen that street corner before?). - from Amzon
