Does anyone know if the above maps can be found online? I mean the very

Some seem to be accessible from the Interactive Map at:
http://www.journeyplanner.org/im/SI-T.html

Click on certain stations and you'll get a Local Area Map option. They
have a simplified bus stop map on the first page and a detailed walking
map on the second. For example:

Thanks for that link - all very useful.

Although, on the Chancery Lane map alone, there are so many mistakes as
to be quite amusing!

Lincoln's Inn Garden is curiously called "Newman's Row Park and Garden"
- I have had my chambers there for almost 20 years and never heard it
called that before!

Also, Atkin Building in Gray's Inn has acquired the curious name
"Atlins Building".

At its Southern end, Bell Yard seems to have acquired a pedestrian path
Eastwards into Chancery Lane which does not exist in real life.

Star Yard is shown as a road leading into Bishop's Court, whereas the
latter is a footpath, without any vehicular access.

The Eastern pedestrian access from Lincoln's Inn New Square to Carey
Street is shown but not the Western access path, nor is the footpath
from Chancery Lane into Stone Buildings shown.

One of the most important public buildings in the area, the Principal
Registry of the High Court (Family Division) at corner of Brownlow
Street and High Holborn is not shown at all. Nor is the High Court
(Technology Court) in Fetter Lane.

The main vehicular access from Holborn into Gray's Inn is shown as a
footpath.

The taxi rank in High Holborn is shown, but not the one at the gateway
to Lincoln's Inn.

At the very foot, near Prince Henry's Room, what is a pedestrian
gateway only into Inner Temple is shown as a road.

Most curiously, Holborn seems to have acquired a new road into
Whetstone Place called Holborn Place! There is no vehicular access
South of High Holborn of any description between Chancery Lane and
Kingsway!

Nice try, though.
