We have published more than 1,800 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.

Features include Wood Green (now Alexandra Park) station, Bowes Park, Noel Park and Palace Gates stations, Royal Masonic Institution, Wood Green Common, Banquet Hall of Alexandra Park, St Gabriel's church Bowes Park, Chitts Hill House, White Hart Lane Potteries, Wolves Lane. Green Lanes runs north-south through the centre of the map.
