[Talk-GB] London maps

[Richard Fairhurst]

If we can't use the 1934 ABC (which would be a great shame), should we  
try and get some out-of-copyright OS London maps?

A search through the British Cartographic Society's Directory of UK  
Map Collections (http://www.cartography.org.uk/Pages/Publicat/Ukdir/)  
suggests that many London borough libraries have collections of 1:1250  
and 1:2500 maps of the city.

The University of London Library looks particularly promising:

Do we still have people here with connections to the library who could  
get in and do some photocopying for free/cheapish?

(Or maybe we could buy the scans from the OS's friends at Landmark:
