Better in what way?

Starting with the current subject, many details pertaining to railways
were well out of date (The appearance of "LMS", "LNER" and "GWR" in
many places tended to give a warning. Is Shepherds Bush still marked
CLR?) and a lot of the roads weren't much better, but as I also said:-
but they seem to improved in more recent years

I always hated the Nicholson's.

There's not a lot of difference for London now that they all seem to
be O.S.-derived mapping presented via different colour schemes. The
Nicholson's (possibly now merged and re-named) AFAIAA is the only one
which has reasonable coverage of the intra-M25 area, in the past some
other atlases labelled as "Greater London" failed to cover the entire
county never mind the extended conurbation, missing out odd bits at
the periphery (even though they were inhabited) or showing them at a
reduced scale.
