I'm interesting in Germany, Holland and Belgium cycling maps .They are not very good at all. They lack detail.
I found some maps here http://www.sustransshop.co.uk/index.php , are
they good maps?
You can't beat going into a well stocked shop and eyeballing the maps for
yourself.
As for a place in London...how about Foyles?
The better ranches of bookshop chains normally have a good range of maps -
at least the ones in Leeds do.
The original poster's link leads to the generic index of Sustrans maps.
Sustrans maps of the NCN routes are very good providing one does not stray
off the strips surrounding the route
The maps for Germany, Holland and Belgium are dire and are not created byor
for Sustrans. Last year I looked at the French one in a book shop with a
view of using it for a Channel to Med ride - it was totally useless. There
was insufficient detail off route for it to be useful. The amount of
on-route info was barely useable . To make sure that it wasn't an
aberration I looked at the Begian and Dutch maps and they too were devoid of
useful infomation.
