Navigating London

an article by Chris Sherman, Associate Editor of Search Engine Watch

Although this article is intended to assist attendees at the SEW conference in London to find their way around when away from the conference hall, it contains excellent references and links to simplify navigating London, that I felt it would also be an invaluable resource for GTI members planning a visit to London.

"London offers wonderful opportunities for rambling exploration—but it's also easy to lose your bearings if you're not careful. Fortunately, the web offers some terrific navigation tools and maps to help you find your way.

London is a huge, sprawling city, and good maps are a necessity. Three good mapping services for London include:

• Multimap


• Streetmap.co.uk


• Quickmap - click to select maps to explore by foot, by bus or by tube

I think London one of the best cities in the world for taking endless walks, exploring neighborhoods that can date back hundreds of years. Fortunately, London's public transportation system makes it easy to get back to your starting point when the point of exhaustion takes hold.

Transport for London is the official page for information on just about every type of transportation available in London."
