London or not, this is where I lack some tools or guidelines.  
All the maps I draw turn up as black-and-white lines.  Despite all 
the talk of "keys" and attributes, I have found no way (in the 
website and applet) to indicate which lines are of which kind, or 
that I should only draw streets proper and no walkpaths.  I have 
come to adopt the convention of drawing motorways as two streets 
next to each other, but this is not implemented everywhere.  In 
some places, motorways have only been travelled in one direction, 
so they appear as simple country roads.

For the moment I'm just "drawing lines", which could be country 
roads, motorways, city streets, jogging tracks or bike trails.  I 
assume I can add attributes in some future version.

There's no difference between London, Linköping, Luxembourg or 
Lyon in this respect.
