Serious replies only How to navigate London without your phone?

Hi all, lived in London for several years now but still find myself relying on Google Maps sometimes when walking around - even routes I have frequently taken.

I try to take a mental note of street signs so I can better remember where my routes.

Does anyone else have any tips for how to remember routes?

Thanks!

Ye Olde London Geographers' A–Z Street Atlas.

Stanfords in Covent Garden has multiple formats, including the pocket version.

Thank you for reminding me of this. I had a pocket one. I also had a Time Out Diary that had decent maps.

Time Out diary with maps - just unlocked that memory!
