MAPCO has selection of high-definition maps of London, and some other places too.
The Charles Booth Online Archive contains the results of his survey into life and labour of the London poor (1883-1903) including extensive notebooks and his famous colour-coded maps
The British Library has an online gallery London: a life in maps with some interesting features
MOTCO contains ten London maps between 1702 and 1862, most of them with street indexes
The Museum of London also has an interesting digital map, Streetmuseum which is not online, but is an iPhone app
Great resources! thank you for sharing!
ReplyDeleteYour London maps are beautiful! Though I don't have ancestors from London (that I know of yet) I have British ancestors. I'm going to look at your resources and see if they offer more than London maps.
ReplyDeleteWelcome to the wonderful world of blogging your family history and other genealogy interests.

Thank you for your comments. I have a many more maps of London and several other places. I shall post a selection of them, as time permits
ReplyDeleteOn the topic of maps, I find it extremely useful being able to retrace the footsteps of each enumerator, especially in rural areas but also in urban areas like London where redevelopment has resulted in many 'lost' locations, the renaming of roads and so-forth.
ReplyDeleteI apologise if this is a little 'off-topic' but it is an aspect of the data that is easily overlooked yet can be of considerable assistance to researchers.
All the best,
Peter
Peter, I couldn't agree with you more, and I think you are very much ON-topic.
ReplyDeleteI have occasionally found maps on the title pages of enumeration districts, usually drawn by the enumerators. I even found one example where a street map had been carefully cut up and the appropriate sections pasted onto the title pages of each enumeration district.
