No, 'he asked the way to London' is perfectly acceptable. Your dictionary also defines ask as:

to say or write something in the form of a question, in order to get information

There's nothing grammatically wrong with 'He asked about the way to London', but the common phrase is 'He asked the way'. It's just evolved like that, I guess.
