Maps of London

View maps of London as it was around the middle of the twentieth century. The map below shows the greater London area, divided into a grid of over 100 squares, each numbered on the map and linked to a page showing detailed large scale street maps of the area within the grid square, including detailed maps of Central London. The areas are also listed in the key below the map. Clicking on a name in the list will also take you to the page of maps of that part of London. Each map shows large scale detail of London, its streets and buildings as they were around 1940. Although the London scene as shown on the maps will have changed over the past half century, many of the streets and major buildings remain virtually unchanged.
