About this deal

The Geographers' A–Z Street Atlas, commonly shortened to A–Z (pronounced "Ay to Zed"), is a title given to any one of a range of atlases of streets in the United Kingdom produced by Geographers' A–Z Map Company Limited. Its first atlas, of London, was originally compiled in the 1930s by Phyllis Pearsall. The company she founded now publishes street maps of many cities and towns in the UK. The map index contains over 300,000 entries with nearly 100,000 streets, over 200,000 postcodes, plus thousands of places of interest, hospitals and rail stations. All can be located on this high quality map within a few seconds using the search feature or by browsing the index. The search now reaches out to the internet for additional selections when an internet connection is available.

I discovered the Agricultural Hall in Islington is now the Business Design Centre. It was used for large cattle, horse and dog shows as well as trade exhibitions. The wallpaper is PVC free and is printed using HP's Latex inks ensuring you get a more environmentally friendly mural compared to one produced with solvent inks. It is also odor-free making it safe for all rooms in the home and commercial interiors where the initial solvent smell would be an issue such as schools, restaurants, cafes and offices. The ultra smooth finish and the latex base of the inks provide vivid colour graphics with high-definition detail. A great map, a little bit more memory taken then the average app, but it gives me a most intuitive look at what makes up GReater London then other maps can provide.” Information about places of interest, museums and art galleries for both central and outer London, including a star rating system to highlight recommended visitor attractions.

Though the London A-Z itself is a triumph of detail and practicality, its inventor’s reputation as an artist and an eccentric has persisted. Might that be because her personality chimes so well with London’s own winding and unpredictable streets? Magnificent! The map I’ve been using all my life, now in crystal clear form on my phone. Being able to rotate the map to any angle is a total winner. I’ve now retired my battered and beloved paper A-Z as a result.”

These maps are a digital copy of the famous A-Z Street Maps of London with other UK cities available soon. In addition to a map of the London Underground (central area), a West End Theatres map and a West End Cinemas map are also featured within this atlas. Bethnal Green Museum is now the V&A Museum of Childhood. And the Home Office Industrial Museum is long gone so you can no longer see “appliances for the promotion of health amongst industrial workers”.The index section lists streets, embassies, legations, commonwealth representatives and hospitals covered by this atlas. Navigate your way around London with this detailed, easy-to-use and up-to-date A-Z Street Atlas. First published in 1936, this iconic atlas is a trusted means of finding your way around the capital city.
