Of English  writers probably only Shakespeare is quoted more often than Samuel Johnson who said of London:


“No, Sir, when man is tired of London, he is tired of life; for there is in London all that life can afford”


“...if a man walks out in London he is not sure when he will walk in again. A great city is, to be sure, the school for studying life”.


“By seeing London, I have seen as much of London as the world can shew”


Samuel Johnson 1709 - 1784




Urbium Londini et west-monasterii 1736


Our maps start at only £15. Being passionate about maps means  we have worked hard to create reproductions that are as close to, and as beautiful as, the originals. They have starred in BBC series 'Cranford', the stage play 'Les Miserables' and have even appeared in a Hollywood film. (Product info).
