London is one of the most popular, populated and accessible cites on earth. People love London. And why not? Londoners are charming and helpful, and their city operates on such a high dosage of civility that it could be considered an art form. London is an urban oasis where you can search out cutting edge
design, cuisine, fashion, chic neighborhoods, or traditional culture
. When visiting London, be prepared to walk. Whether its basic window shopping, advanced people watching, or the rewarding task of locating restaurants and museums, London is urban roaming at its best. Days can be spent just visiting London’s neighborhoods, each with its own character, atmosphere and unique offerings.
The STREETWISE® Map of London UK will enable you to go anywhere in central London. The detailed and indexed depiction of streets, tube stations, sites and hotels will enable you to spend more time making new urban discoveries than less time complaining about disorientation. Say you choose
Mayfair
, for its refined and cultured demeanor. Take an afternoon stroll wandering through
Berkeley Square, Grovesnor Square and Green Park
then finish with an espresso at
Rochaux’s cafe.
You’ll briefly feel exclusive. Wander the back alleys in
Soho
and you will never know what or who you’ll run across. The very trendy
Covent Garden
is dense with human interaction packed into a small area. Walk up to
Bloomsbury
with its literary heritage to be amazed by the vast holdings within the
British Museum
.
The original city of London is the square mile of the city center, now the financial center as well. Immerse yourself in history and architecture with its many fantastic buildings beginning with
St Paul’s Cathedral
on the western edge and ending at the
Tower of London
to the eastside. Hike over the
Thames
on the
Tower Bridge
to see the
Design Museum
and the
HMS Belfast
. You are now on the
South Bank
dominated by
Waterloo Station
and its surrounding shopping and dining area. The
London Eye
will provide an interesting overhead perspective of greater London. Come back to earth and walk the Thames along Queen’s walk pedestrian path and you’ll be rewarded upon finding
Gabriel’s Wharf, the Tate Modern,
the famous wobbly
Millennium Bridge
and
Shakespeare’s Globe Theatre.
Walk South through
Hyde Park
and you encounter
Knightsbridge
. It is one of London’s most fashionable neighborhoods, the home of
Harrod’s (the Vatican of department stores) and Beauchamp Place,
one of London’s most fashionable shopping streets. If shopping is not on the agenda, there are museums like the
Victoria & Albert, the Science Museum, and the Natural History Museum
. South of Knightsbridge is
Belgravia
. This area has long been the aristocratic section of London, rivaling Mayfair in grandeur and tranquility. Our London street map is fully indexed with streets, concert halls, hotels, museums and galleries, parks, points of interest, shopping areas and transportation terminals. A separate inset map of the
London Underground, the Tube
, is also included to facilitate your travel around the city.
