Are there celebrity star maps of london?

My friends are planning a trip to London. I once lived there and thus I am supposed to be an expert. They want to see the houses of celebrities. Are there any "star maps" of London? (Ideally online) I think they want Madonna, that guy from Coldplay, Elton John, a footballer, and similar. You get the drift.

I've never seen anything like you describe, and I think I would have come across it. At the moment Madonna's house is beseiged by the press, it is near Marbel Arch which is the only thing the newscasters are saying. I think the fact that they don't give the actual address may relate to the different privacy laws in the UK. These laws are quite strict and I believe such a map may break them, so I wouldn't hold out much hope.

I'm guessing you could probably put one together if you went on their fan websites?

Maybe not quite what you're looking for but I recently made a post about the Notting Hill area. It has a fascinating history full of celebrities.

Was just on the hop-on, hop-off bus tour around the city and particularly in the Buckingham Palace and Marble Arch areas the tour guide pointed out numerous celebrity homes.

When my husband and I went on a walking tour of Hampstead, the guide pointed out a lot of celebrity houses. Not that that was very helpful to you.

I believe the London Star Map is what you're looking for, you can get it on ebay/amazon, and its pretty cool I have to say, my 9 year old daughter loves it! Its got celebrity homes, film locations, music landmarks, nightclubs the lot.
