Now that ticket offices are closing, how is it supposed to work?
Google on your phone.
And the backup for when the battery dies or there is no coverage? Also,
phone screens are much smaller than the pocket map so I actually find paper
easier to use.

London has good coverage. In fact it's better for tourists than locals,
as tourists will roam onto an available network but locals are SOL is
they just happen to be in a blackspot for their carrier.

As for the battery, my experience is that the battery doesn't die
between breakfast and getting back to the hotel in the evening unless
I'm playing video games.

But even in your doomsday scenario there are always the maps on the
wall.
