Published by Geographer's A-Z Map Company Limited: Sevenoaks c1975 (Undated - Edition 9a)
"
This mid-1970s Geographer's A-Z London Atlas presents a detailed and highly legible cartographic portrait of Greater London at a time of rapid urban change, capturing the city's roads, rail lines, parks, and civic infrastructure with the clarity that made the A-Z series a household name. Issued as Edition 9a and produced by the Geographer's A-Z Map Company in Sevenoaks, it features precise street-level mapping, an extensive index, and the familiar bold blue-and-red design that defined the firm's style. The atlas reflects the company's commitment to accuracy and usability, offering a snapshot of mid-20th-century London before the major redevelopments of the 1980s.
Its value today lies not only in its practical navigational content but also in the historical context it preserves—documenting neighbourhood layouts, transport routes, and boundaries as they existed nearly fifty years ago. Collectors and researchers will appreciate its clean presentation, period typography, and the way it records London's urban form at a transitional moment in the city's development. This volume will appeal to enthusiasts of London history, collectors of vintage cartography, and admirers of mid-century urban design."
