Yes, you can get an underground map at no cost in London or even download and print one off the net but they do NOT list the points of interest with such incredibly clear directions and include thirty-two mini maps on the reverse side that give walking instructions from the station to the site. I purchased this map and planned trips prior to my first London trip. I threw all the free maps and one other purchased map in the trash. The only improvement to the map I can think of would be if it had been printed on plastic impregnated paper. Be sure to purchase your travel card (tube pass voucher) prior to departure through your travel agent or the net. A handy companion is the "Dorling Kindersly London City Map" - - also available at Amazon.com. They are the only two maps I shall take on my next(third) London trip. God bless America.


Great Map for those who forget their glasses   January 20, 2001

I read all the popular tour books before I left for London and Paris, but only took Brein's Underground Maps and the Penguin Map Guide books with me. I could read and clearly understand Brein's Map without having to pull out my glasses all the time and the directions on exiting the undergrounds were helpful.

This is out of date - new lines have opened and other altered as a consequence. Accurate small maps are available free and large scale up to date maps (With discount offers to places of interest)are available from vending machines... in any undground (subway) station. ... - save your money.
