The same style of presentation of the street network is used in different titles with varying degree of detail. Excellent placing of names & the use of colours or symbols enable the publishers to provide a wealth of information whilst retaining the clarity of small detail: streets with bus services, Underground/railway stations & riverboat piers, prime shopping areas, places of entertainment & main services, selected hotels & pubs, etc. The capital’s main sights are prominently highlighted & other important buildings are named. For drivers the maps indicate main traffic routes & show entry restrictions for motorized traffic & car parks. One way streets are not marked. For those exploring London on foot the Bensons plans offer information not often found on other street maps: small passages, steps or stairways, foot access onto bridges from streets below them, etc. Additional panels, varying from title to title, provide more information: enlargements of the West End & the City, bus routes, places of entertainment, descriptions of sights, sightseeing walks, a shopping guide, etc. For more information please see the individual description.
