John, I've written a tool that will tell you which OS raster tiles are needed given the current map window extents. It's work with all the OS raster products (10k, 25k, 50k, 250, StreetView). You can down load it from the DirectiosnMag site - http://www.directionsmag.com/files/index.php/view/587
I've actually extent the functionality to automatically load the raster tiles if you've specified a path in an associated .ini file but I haven't release that, yet!

It was under laid with a more sensible 1:50,000 base map. Seeing as I spend half my life trying to find the right tile for say Camden - I would love to know how to make one of these index maps. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
