London: Philip`s Street Atlases
London street atlases from Philipโ€s published in three different sizes, each in a paperback or spiral-bound format, plus as a selection of sleek and durable mini hardback atlases of inner London in a variety of attractive colours and designs. All versions use the same cartography but vary in coverage and in the print size โ€“ roughly, the smaller the size, the less of London is covered and in smaller print. All titles include a section showing the same area of central London in more detailed scale from the main part of the atlas.The maps indicate main traffic routes, locations of speed cameras, pedestrianized and restricted access streets, road junction names, car parks, park & ride facilities, etc. The more detailed maps of central London also show one way streets and turning restrictions. Public transport information includes railway lines with stations, Underground/Overground/DLR stations, tramway lines with stops, riverbus piers, and bus or coach stations. Symbols indicate various facilities usually shown on street mapping such as police stations, hospitals, main post offices, plus sport grounds, markets, schools, important buildings, etc. Also marked are administrative and postal boundaries. A comprehensive index highlights key places of interest and public buildings in colour.Additional pages include a diagram of the London Transport network, central Londonโ€s theatre and cinema map, and an administrative/postcode map. The two larger sizes (not the mini atlases) also include a route planning section with mapping of the capitalโ€s environs.IMPORTANT โ€“ PLEASE NOTE:In the central London section streets within the Congestion Charge Zone are outlined in green in contrast to black elsewhere. Not all of the atlases have been updated since the removal of the Western Extension in January 2011. Please check the individual description for the edition date and the presentation of the CCZ.
