2-dimensional book showing buildings on streets in London

This book was published in 1992, and needs to be up-dated as it is a wonderful format. The information is dated, and many of the retail places mentioned may not be in existance after 8 years. I would love to see a year 2000 version!

Bird's eye, 2-D perspectives on every London location

Here's a wonderful pocket reference for touring London. (Up Close books are available for other cities, too.) From any spot in the city, the book gives you a bird's eye, fully two-dimensional, street-by-street, building-by-building, park-by-park, intersection-by-intersection view of where you are, what's around you, and what's on the next street or the next block. Use it in conjunction with a conventional street map; it's like being there before you get there. And best of all, with increasing distance away from your point of view on the pages, the 2-D line drawings don't get smaller, perspective-wise. We've used the Up Close books in Paris and Rome: enormously helpful and fun.
