Instructions

Things You’ll Need:

  • London A to Z
  • Street address of destination
  • Step 1:
    Purchase "London A to Z," a compact street atlas of London. Widely available in London itself, the book can also be purchased online.
  • Step 2:
    Get the full street address for the house you are trying to find. The street name, postcode and borough will be most useful.
  • Step 3:
    Flip to the back of "A to Z" and look up the street name in the index. There may be multiple streets by the same name. Verify that you have the correct one by checking the postcode, written directly to the right of the street name in the index.
  • Step 4:
    Noting the grid code of the street you are trying to find, turn to the page indicated by the index. Locate the street by following the grid blocks on the map pages, which are indicated by letters and numbers on the top and side of the page.
  • Step 5:
    Follow the map to get to your destination. If you need information on how to get there, use the map of the London Underground on the back of "A to Z." Additionally, the book features a map of the London Overground train lines.
