For the european_region_region from their "Boundary-Line" try the following:

<Maps:XamMap x:Name="xamMap" >
 <Maps:MapNavigationPane igControls:XamDock.Edge="InsideRight" />
 <Maps:XamMap.Layers>
  <Maps:MapLayer >
   <Maps:MapLayer.Reader>
    <Maps:ShapeFileReader Uri="ShapeFiles/OsOpenData/european_region_region" >

     <Maps:ShapeFileReader.CoordinateSystem>
      <Maps:CoordinateSystem FalseEasting="400000" FalseNorthing="-100000" UnitType="M">
        <Maps:CoordinateSystem.Projection>
        <Maps:TransverseMercator EllipsoidType="Airy" CentralMeridian="-2" LatitudeOrigin="49" ScaleFactor="0.999601272" />
        </Maps:CoordinateSystem.Projection>
       </Maps:CoordinateSystem>
      </Maps:ShapeFileReader.CoordinateSystem>
    </Maps:ShapeFileReader>
   </Maps:MapLayer.Reader>
  </Maps:MapLayer>               
 </Maps:XamMap.Layers>
</Maps:XamMap>

Information about projection can be found in  *.prj files.

Hi Rob

Try the following code, which uses admin_polyline shapefile:

<Maps:XamMap x:Name="xamMap" >
 <Maps:MapNavigationPane igControls:XamDock.Edge="InsideRight" />
 <Maps:XamMap.Layers>
  <Maps:MapLayer >
   <Maps:MapLayer.Reader>
    <Maps:ShapeFileReader Uri="ShapeFiles/OsOpenData/admin_polyline"  >

     <Maps:ShapeFileReader.CoordinateSystem>
       <Maps:CoordinateSystem>
        <Maps:CoordinateSystem.Projection>
         <Maps:TransverseMercator EllipsoidType="WGS84" />
        </Maps:CoordinateSystem.Projection>
       </Maps:CoordinateSystem>
      </Maps:ShapeFileReader.CoordinateSystem>
    </Maps:ShapeFileReader>
   </Maps:MapLayer.Reader>
  </Maps:MapLayer>               
 </Maps:XamMap.Layers>
</Maps:XamMap>
