Good European Maps-

http://www.multimaps.com/

Includes satilite photos of Britain and Europe which are really cool.


http://www.maps24.com/

Java maps, that show amoung other things, one way streets in London,
and they allow you to make distance measurements.

Both maps work best with MS Internet Explorer, but can still be used
with Netscape/Mozilla.

Surrey is mostly south and slightly east of central London. The
closest point to central London in Surrey is 10 miles (Epson, Croydon)
, the farthest point is about 40 miles (Haslemere). Distance to a the
large centerally located city of Guildford is about 28 miles. 

Therefore, a relatively short trip to London and typical of most suburbs.

Hope that helps.
