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.

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. 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”. You can use your device’s inbuilt location services to show your current location on the map or follow your movements as you travel. 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 India Museum was a branch of the Victoria and Albert Museum in South Kensington. And the Zoological Gardens (London Zoo) noted that “rides on the elephants and camels are a special attraction for the children”.

Zuti is a worldwide series of transportation maps from lead developer Visual IT who have been producing public transportation maps for mobile devices over many years. The book starts with some themed maps such as Theatreland and even Shopping Centres and Parking Places. 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 encryption keys are held on state-of-the-art, tamper proof systems in the same family as those used to secure VeriSign's Global Root certificate, making them all but impossible to extract. The data we hold is extremely secure and we are regularly audited by the banks and banking authorities to ensure it remains so. I moved a lot when I first came to London (25 times in 5 years) so I really got to know the A-Z. In the days before Google maps and mobile phones, the book was an essential item in any Londoner’s bag.

The index section lists streets, embassies, legations, commonwealth representatives and hospitals covered by this atlas.

Zuti Maps

Unless indicated to the contrary, the index shows districts and various facilities or places of interest in colour to make them easy to see., with separate listings of hospitals/healthcare facilities and railway/underground/etc, stations. All versions all include a diagram of London Transport’s Underground/Overground/DLR network. Stanford’s presentation of the individual atlases includes an image showing the extent of the coverage. Straight away I was comparing with now and found plenty of differences as well as plenty that has remained. Until relatively recently, [ when?] maps produced by the Geographers' (A–Z) Map Company did not include a publication date. It is possible to determine a date range for publication due to the following:

In one scheme, the letters JIHGFEDCBA represent the digits 1 to 9 and 0, so that HFD would be 357, indicating a publication date of March 1957. This seems to have been used on all the company's folding maps, and possibly also those in book form. 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. She also took on the laborious task of card indexing the street names alphabetically in preparation for typesetting.Holborn Viaduct station seems to be just as noteworthy as St Paul’s Cathedral. And there are a lot of changes coming to the South Bank that this map doesn’t know about yet. I love looking at old maps of London so was pleased to come across this London A-Z Street Atlas – Historical Edition. Onto the book. It was billed as the ‘A to Z Atlas and Guide to London and Suburbs’. The cover was proud to announce the maps included house numbers along main streets and 23,000 streets (9,000 more than any other similar atlas index).
