The subway map was unbelievably accurate and the suggestions for things to see and do was very helpful. But again, back to the map (I'm slightly obsessed), it was a great help in navigating the city and had all of the neighborhoods and major sights clearly labeled on it. I'm looking forward to checking out the Compass Map guides for other cities. 2 of 2 people found the following review helpful: By Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?) This review is from: London Insideout (Insideout City Guide: London) (Hardcover) I spent 10 days in London and this map was a true asset and believe it or not the built in pen came in handy more than one time. With its excellent design and compact size it folds right up and is ready to be carried in a pocketor bag. It should be noted that this is a very general map. It lacks the necessary detial to help you find those nooks and crannys of London, but you will have no problem finding all the main sights. 2 of 3 people found the following review helpful: By This review is from: London Insideout (Insideout City Guide: London) (Hardcover) This book is a great size and sturdy for use while out on the streets of London. I was there 8 days and used this book second most. My #1 choice was the Knopf Map Guide London. This book, was very good though. It has a mini built-in compass and fold away pen for making notes. The map pages "pop out" and then fold back in. Maps highlight major tourist areas and attractions. Sometimes the map is a little tiny to ready, the Knopf was sometimes easiser to read. This book had 2 map sections: one of all of central London and then a more detailed one of Mayfair/Soho/Westminister areas. There are also a few pages on what to see/do/eat in London but not very detailed. I used a larger travel guide to help me plan out what I'd do while in London. I used this for out on the town to keep me from getting lost. The size of it can't be beat, easily fits in a large pocket or purse or bag. |
