Deservedly popular and renowned specialist travel shop

Extraordinary store catering to both the serious map connoisseur and the casual traveller who simply wants to choose from London's most comprehensive selection of guides, maps and literature. Personalised maps and aerial photos are available. Opened 1901, and in January 2019 moved from Long Acre to a new building in Mercer Walk, just round the corner. Excellent Swedish patisserie Bageriet [see entry] is located in nearby Rose St [directly next to the old location]. Tube stations: Covent Garden and Leicester Square.
