As a facsimile reproduction of the A to Z London Street Atlas,
circa 1938/39, this publication shows street mapping of London as
it was before the Second World War bombing and the redevelopments
that followed and may be of assistance in tracing family history
for that period. The coverage extends from central London to
Edgware, Whetstone, Palmers Green, Edmonton, Walthamstow,
Snaresbrook, Seven Kings, Barking, Silvertown, Plumstead,
Kidbrooke, Bellingham, South Sydenham, Croydon, Streatham Common,
Morden, Wimbledon Common, Twickenham, Richmond, Kew, Hanwell,
Ealing Broadway, Wembley, Harrow and Wealdstone. Included within
the atlas is a map of the Underground Railways of London and
Suburbs and location maps of Theatreland, Cinemaland, Clubland and
the main Shopping Centres. The Guide to Places of Interest section
includes a location map and text giving a summary of each selected
place of interest with opening times and admission charges. The
index to streets section includes a list of the London County
Council street name changes relevant at that time. A foldout
coloured Pictorial Map of Central London is attached to the inside
back cover and this map features the locations of principal
landmarks and places of interest using three dimensional drawings.
The original printing of this paperback street atlas before the
Second World War was in black only; however, this facsimile
reproduction has been printed in colours which simulate the current
condition after its ageing over many years. The atlas is supplied
in a stout protective slipcase. SAVE 20% OFF the RRP when you buy

The Beginning Geographers' Map Company was founded in 1936 by
Phyllis Pearsall MBE (1906-1996) who, encouraged by her father
Alexander Gross, took on the ambitious task of publishing
up-to-date street mapping of London. This Historical Edition is a
facsimile reproduction of one of her first publications featuring
the now renowned A to Z logo on the front cover.
