This atlas uses a scale of 5 inches to 1 mile. It has a detailed index and shows through routes to help with journey planning. A planning map shows main roads in and out of London, and there are route indicators on major roads as they come to the edge of the mapping. Postcode districts and boundaries are shown on both the main mapping and on a separate map. The central area, using a scale of 10 inches to 1 mile, shows one-way streets and restricted turns. Hospitals, railway stations, schools, shopping centres, universities, industrial estates and other such features are highlighted in red in the index; places of tourist interest are shown in blue. The index includes postcodes, and there are additional indexes for hospitals, highlighting those with A&E facilities; and for tourist sites. There are special maps for bus routes, the Underground, shopping, theatres and cinemas, London connections, postcode and administrative boundaries.
