My recollection is that there were a surprisingly large number of them,
indeed you might even be able to get a custom one. I wonder what process
they used to produce them?

The ones I remember are the ones we used to order before going on
holiday in a new area.

Send them the required start and finish points, and you got a
booklet of strip maps, sort of like the ones that Autoroute could be
told to print out in its early days. They had written directions on
them as well.

I think they were produced by using a standard set of route
segments, assembled by hand.

Checks Blimey,they still offer the service,but it's on line now.

Nowadays, you can print the text route (Including the signs to
follow at major junctions) yourself with an option to print a map of
any confusing sections.

Thanks, the pertinent bit is lower down at

The maps were called "Throughroutes", and there were about 50 of them.

Where were the ones starting in London originated from?
