We have published more than 2,000 maps in our series of Old Ordnance Survey Map reprints, some 300 of them in the London area. The maps are highly detailed. They are taken from the OS 1:2,500 (or 25 inch) maps and reduced to about 15 inches to the mile. They show streets with individual houses, tram tracks, railway tracks and even signals, factories, wharves and such details as fountains and water troughs. They will provide hours of fascination for historians and genealogists. The maps are neatly folded and each includes a specially written introduction to the area. Maps can be purchased on our On-line Mapshop where further information about titles is given. For other information and Prices, see Index Page.
Here are the details of maps for Kensington (W) & Shepherds Bush:
We have published three versions of this map, showing how the area developed across the years. The maps each cover the same area, stretching from Iffley Road, Hammersmith eastward to Phillimore Gardens, Kensington; and from Royal Crescent and the Uxbridge Road southward to Pembroke Road. The many features include Olympia, Holland Park, Holland House, Shepherds Bush Common, Brook Green, part of Kensington High Street, Shepherds Bush Road, Addison Road. Several railways cross the map and stations include Uxbridge Road and Addison Road (later Kensington Olympia) on the West London Railway; Shepherds Bush, Goldhawk Road and Hammersmith on the Hammersmith & City; Shepherds Bush and Hammersmith on the LSWR Kensington & Richmond line.
