They are also useful for people who don't know London like the back of
their hand, in bad weather, and when public transport has shut for the

location I'd not heard of before, but turned out to be near Horse
Guards Parade.

The weather aside, for which I'm sure you can carry an umbrella, may I
present to you https://maps.google.com/ and its public transport search
facility?
