WHEN the sun comes out, there's a little more inclination to hop off the Tube a stop early and meander your way to your destination. All well and good if you know your environs, but otherwise you are reliant on a Tube Map that doesn't really distinguish between a five-minute stroll and 15 minutes of puffing and panting and you'll still be late. So, all hail Quickmap, an A-Z meets Tube map meets guidebook meets bus map, all on a handy folded sheet of A3 that won't make you look like a tourist. It's a map of London zones 1-3 with all the Tube stops in the right geographical place, plus all the Tube lines and major bus routes. Flip to the other side for a walking map with more than 100 must-sees. A bargain for £2.50 plus p&p. mapvendor.com
