"LONDON" (in black) is in a black square that is white inside. Four race paths lead out of London, each marked with an outgoing colored arrow (red, green, blue, and black). Four additional race paths lead into London, with the same colored circles overlapping the square border. Each path has a series of colored circles on it (the same colors) that do not repeat colors but don't follow a pattern. Some circles have squares around them with white around each circle.

At lower left is a legend, where a black square with a circle inside stands for |"SCOOP" TAKE PHOTOGRAPH|, a solid colored square with a white "T" inside means |"WIRE" ALL PHOTOGRAPHS TAKEN SO FAR (optional)" above |MISS ONE TURN FOR EACH PHOTO "WIRED"|. "BLACK LINES INDICATE MAIN ROUTES". "RED LINES & CIRCLES INDICATE OPTIONAL ROUTES".

Below the legend is "COPYRIGHT" AND |"AHOY!" SERIES Registered Trade Mark|.
