Though, since the street has three different names in as many blocks, I'm guessing the Floyd would let it slide. I believe it’s Arnold Layne, not Lane.

But old-school! I knew it all looked familiar, but some things were a bit strange, like the park on City Road. They must have based this on a pretty old map because City Road isn't there... EDIT: the northwestern arm of City Road, that goes up to Angel, isn't there. The southern bit (that goes down to the, uh, city), is. Yes! But old-school!

It's on the cover of the Saint Etienne album, coming out in May: http://www.computerarts.co.uk/blog/music-saint-etienne-pictures-dorothy-122970  The rest of the cover is also great--looks like an old album sleeve.  After the Song Map got a lot of attention when it came out in December, the band Saint Etienne asked Dorothy to do a new map with song titles that fit their influences.
