Featuring over 100 maps of London from the twentieth century, this fascinating miscellany provides an enthralling exploration of the history of the city.

One of the best ways to gain an insight into a city's multi-layered past is by deciphering its maps, and this curated collection of over 100 historical maps of London will help you do just that. Many of these hugely interesting and significant maps are also beautiful works of art in themselves.

The majority of the maps in this collection have been drawn from the historical treasure house that is the London Metropolitan Archives, which has been housing London's records since 1889. The maps are presented in thematic chapters, including:

Making Connections: Maps of the railways, tube system and roads
Out with the Old and In with the New: London's numerous upgrades
For Richer for Poorer: A city of extremes
Let's Go Outside: London's green spaces and the River Thames
Picture This: Pictorial, decorative and artistic maps.

Perfect for map enthusiasts, history buffs, and art lovers, this is a visually stunning book that readers will spend hours poring over.
