The A-Z History of London by A-Z Maps

Beautifully presented, a perfect gift for history lovers. For the last century A-Z maps have been the trusted and reliable source of mapping for Londoners. As the face of London has changed so have the maps. History of Britain in Maps author, Philip Parker, outlines these changes.

“Parker’s commentary is apposite and ferociously well-informed, but the book’s real pleasure is in poring over the maps, old and new, and seeing what has changed over the years” The Spectator
