come to expect elsewhere in the UK anywhere in London

The Travel Information Centres that TfL advertise seem to be no more
than a glorified tube station ticket window or bus station inspector's
window. You have to ask for what publicity you want and then you have
to know what to ask for, and I'm sure they don't like giving out any
more than 1 or 2 items per person

I think I must be living in an alternative London.

Every bustop I use has a timetable for all the routes that stop there, a
diagram of the routes, and usually a spider map of the routes in the
area and a map of night buses.

I've never come accross a tube station that hasn't had a bus map to hand
out, as well as on display.

And a variety of maps can be downloaded from the website.

Admittedly, this is Central London - where was it that you couldn't find
information?
