The Boroughs of London

A stylish collection of beautifully designed maps of each London borough, paired with quirky and fascinating facts about what you’ll find there. The Boroughs of London brings together Mike Hall’s retro-inspired, boldly coloured maps of every borough in one elegant hardcover volume, complemented by authoritative yet accessible commentary from Matt Brown. Published to celebrate the 60th anniversary of the boroughs’ establishment, the book offers readers a detailed snapshot of London’s diverse history and present-day culture. Each borough is introduced with an overview and its neighbourhoods, followed by ten highlighted places of interest—historic buildings, monuments, squares, parks and street markets— illustrated with playful imagery. From central districts like Westminster to suburban areas such as Bexley and Hillingdon, the collection aims to reveal endless discoveries about one of the world’s greatest cities, borough by borough. It’s a perfect companion for Londoners, visitors, history enthusiasts, cartophiles and graphic design fans, inspiring readers to explore every borough.

Mike Hall, renowned for his retro-themed, highly detailed maps, collaborates with author Matt Brown to present a visually striking and informative guide. The hardcover edition showcases the maps in bold colour and clear detail, designed to be enjoyed at a leisurely pace and to invite closer inspection of London’s spatial character.
