We selected these London maps based on coverage, practical usability and map scale. We’ve also included a few themed maps for those seeking a more tailored experience, and we hope that these picks will help you to love London as much as we do!
For a short visit, a pocket map of Central London will cover all the key attractions. If you plan on venturing further out, opt for a map with larger coverage such as the London A-Z Premier Map. A tube map is always useful in London, and small versions are included on many of our city maps.
At Stanfords, we recommend pairing a street map with a themed map so you can tailor your visit to your interests.
