Samuel Johnson infamously said that "When a man is tired of London, he is tired of life." The same might be said about the wonderful maps of London that can be examined in copious detail within this corner of the British Library's website. Visitors can start by reading curator Peter Barber's introduction to this collection of over 1,200 maps and plans of London. To get a flavor of the offerings here, users can click on the Curator's Choice section. This collection includes an absolutely wonderful map from 1653 titled "London. A guide for cuntrey men in the famous city of London by the help of which plot they shall be able to know how far it is to any street." After this fine cartographic fillip, visitors can peruse all of the items in the collection via an alphabetical list.
