London Land Grab on Google Maps - London's Capital Radio has a clever way to raise money for a good cause from their website using Google Maps - Let people "own" a London landmark by pledging a few pounds for virtual ownership. On LondonLandGrab (.com) you can adopt tube stations, pubs and schools (and more) as your own and lay claim to them. Check out what people have adopted on the map!
London Blue Plaque Places - The Wikipedia definition for blue plaques reads: "In England, a blue plaque is a sign attached to a house where someone famous once lived (or sometimes where a notable event took place) to commemorate that fact." This Google Map plots the photographs of 13 locations of these blue plaques (and estimates there are 747 to go!) [Via Gridskipper]UK Local Knowledge Directory..

Don't mean to blow my own trumpet, but another mashup, somewhat different from most of the others listed here, is
The Old Ordnance Survey maps site (http://www.ponies.me.uk/maps/osmap.html)
This site uses the Google maps API to display scans of a selection of out-of-copyright OS maps from the 1920s to 30s with a few early War Office 40s maps thrown in as fillers.
Thanks for listing us - digilondon.com - under London UK places. Good to see appreciation for all the hard work!
Here's another new uk google mash-up, Tourist Information Maps (www.timaps.co.uk).
The site plots the locations of thousands of visitor attractions, including museums, gardens, historic houses, castles, art galleries, cathedrals and theme parks onto google maps.
As featured in the Guardian:

I'm using Google Maps for a different idea. I've written a Java app for my Nokia N95 that updates my website with my location from GPS. The map scrolls around in real time following me if you catch me moving.
It'd be great to be able to show landmarks near where I currently was too.
