Re: best place to procure a good walking map of London at LHR

[British street maps]
At one time book maps were sold in a smaller page size --
I have an A-Z from about 1970 with pages 4.7 x 7 inches --
but I don't know if this format still exists.

Just about every format you could imagine is available in any
general bookshop or newsagent.

We tend to go for the larger formats, since the print on the
street names on the smaller sizes is a bit too small for Marion
to read easily.

Last time I was down I mostly used a free pocket shopping guide
(one of those things sponsored by local businesses) that covered
roughly Marble Arch to Liverpool Street, Waterloo to Hampstead,
in three maps each a double A5 spread. I had the bigger atlas,
but most of the time we were in the centre, so that was all we
needed. I think it was given away free on the sleeper train from
Edinburgh - you find them all over the place. Most tourists
I see walking round Edinburgh with a map are using our local
version of the same thing.
