🗺️ We're delighted to announce that ‘The Boroughs of London’ has been awarded WINNER of the Award for Print Mapping, as part of the British Cartographic Awards!

This annual award is open to any mapping in the printed form, and aims to celebrate cartographic excellence from around the world. This year's award winners were announced at the British Cartographic Society's annual conference on 9th September by Stanfords CEO Vivien Godfrey.

About the book, the judges said 'A very interesting atlas absolutely packed with information and lots of stunning maps. The minimised colour palette and vintage design style is very successful, and every page is inviting. The quality of the print and finished product is excellent, and this atlas has a wide-ranging appeal – from those with a casual interest in the city to real London enthusiasts!'

Massive thanks to and and a huge congratulations to the author and the illustrator !

‘The Boroughs of London’ is a beautifully designed hardback celebrating all 32 of London’s boroughs through bold graphic-map illustrations and insightful commentary. Available to purchase online via our website, via Stanfords or from other good bookshops.
