Which is your favourite 80th anniversary post?

We have searched high and low, delved into boxes, opened dusty folders and explored the archives in our quest to present 84 posts over the past 80 days. We’ve photographed, scanned and output images; recalled, investigated and verified details – and reminisced quite a lot too!

We have loved seeing all your comments, reactions and thoughts and would like you to look once more at the 80th blog posts and decide on your favourite. Then simply let us know why you have chosen it to stand a chance of winning an 80th anniversary edition of the Master Atlas of Greater London.

Master Atlas flexiCovering an impressive 1450 square miles and with an index of over 100,000 streets and other addresses, the Master Atlas is our flagship London publication, so it is fitting that this updated anniversary edition includes a detailed section on our history.
