In the 1800s, diplomats and merchants from around the world arrived in the ports of London and would purchase maps from pedlars. Maps were not only very popular but also a crucial tool that kept visitors safe and informed of markets, churches, neighbourhoods, and lodgings.

These meticulously crafted working documents also served as gifts, ornaments, and elegant tokens of remembrance for early travellers. As the city changed, so has the look of its maps - but not ours. Our current day maps have kept the same style true to the originals used in the days of Arthur Wellesley, 1st Duke of Wellington.

Old maps are beautiful and exquisite, but antique. Our maps are magnificently beautiful, yet accurate. Wellington's Travel is the only mapping company still producing maps in traditional English style, rather than purely functional or artistic fashion.
