Streetwise London Underground Map - The Tube - Laminated London Metro Map - Folding pocket & wallet size metro map for travel Review
Ordered this map for multiple travelers on our London trip because it is (1) laminated (indestructible) and (2) offered "hot spots" as opposed to the publicly available tube maps which make no reference to landmarks. I was not disappointed on those two points. However, I was a little confused when I bought it that the ~ 8" x 3" size was folded, and that it was going to be roughly the size of a sheet of paper. It is not! That is the FULL SIZE of the map. Fold it in threes and it is the size of a credit card. So it is TINY by map standards, and that makes it difficult to read for older eyes. Otherwise, couldn't be happier with the purchase.

Not Well Designed/Thought Out - KW - San Francisco
The concept is good -- a small laminated map of the London subway system (a map that is freely available on the internet or at any London subway station.)
However...the map is not fully contained on one side of the map, so you have to flip the map over to see a significant portion of the subway system. Which means getting oriented to the system as a whole is nearly impossible; looking for a station requires you to examine two sides of the map, etc. (It's clear they are limited by their pre-set size format for this series, so rather than making the paper for the map a bit larger (or the print a bit smaller) they opted to use both sides for the map -- not a good choice)
Better to download an internet map and put it in plastic yourself or cover with clear tape.
A great guide to the London tube system/major attractions - S. Rasmussen - Ann Arbor, Michigan United States
I used this daily while we were in London for two weeks. It shows the tube stop and where many major attractions are, making it easy to plan your trip. Since it folds it fits nicely into a billfold. I would recommend this to anyone planning a trip to London.
great map - Texas Baby Boomer - Central Texas USA
This is a great product at a great price. Folds to fit in pocket or wallet. Will definitely use on upcoming trip. Paper maps you get in London generally rip real easy. Also it's been updated for 2010 so you're getting the latest info.
