Thanks Markus

I'll follow those links to see what I can come up with. I am looking 
particularly for images for SE London, but these do seem quite hard to 
locate. I was under the impression the British Ordinance Survey office 
had released their data to the public domain since we pay for it in our 
taxes, but I could be wrong.

If anything else occurs to you or others on this list, please don't be 
shy about letting me know.

Many thanks

Andy
