It's not easy to find free European data. What do you specifically look for?

Thanks Markus<br>
<br>
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.<br>
<br>
If anything else occurs to you or others on this list, please don't be
shy about letting me know.<br>
<br>
Many thanks<br>
<br>
Andy<br>
