I've been looking for a good map of the sights in London, and I just found a treasure trove.
MapAPlan.com has several illustrated maps that are really helpful. For instance, I had no idea how close the Tate Modern and the Barbican are. I mean, I could walk between them. Which means I might consider making my trip to the Tate before I go see Hamlet at the Barbican. I might not have considered that.
The travel guide I bought is separated into different areas, and the full pull-out map doesn't really highlight all the sights. And the tube map is separate and even smaller. This site has a map of the tube lines with the sights overlaid. Very handy.
These are only really helpful for planning each day's itinerary. I'm not going to print them out and carry them around or anything, but this should make it easier to visualize everything in context.
