Hi Tom, I have had a go at the streetmap site that you suggested. Just wandering, when xporting the data, what is the normal file format to export it to as i don't see things like vector or shape file format. Also, after exporting the file, if i want to use the data to create some sort of serch bar like that of google map to search for a street name, what tools exactly would you use? If you can suggest any tutorials of any kind that would be greatly beneficial.
Thanks. You can either use the google API and call it's maps via WMS which is all free as long as the maps are public facing and you're not expecting millions of hits per month. Alternatively you can use Open Street Map http://www.openstreetmap.org for which the data is free to download and use as you want and you can use their WMS server to provide the images or use something like geoserver to do it yourself. The open street map data set is not complete but is pretty close for London and many other major UK cities and is almost certainly perfect for your needs.
