Where to get vintage/antique UK maps in London?
On our international travels, my husband and I like to pick up antique/vintage maps suitable for framing upon return as a souvenir of our trip. Something featuring the entire UK would be ideal. Where in London might there be a good book/map shop selling such an item? (I'm not talking cheapie maps printed by the thousands...) Thanks!

Cleo, The one on Beauchamp Scarlett Mentioned place near Harrods has old maps and copies. I love this shop and found it by chance 9years ago. If you somethng specific ask them to help as mostitems are stored in pull out files. I found some lovely old prints of Irish Maps in Irish.

Can't recall the name of it, but it's across the street from the Savoy. With the Savoy to your back, cross the Strand, and go left. First street turn right, heading towards Covent Garden. It's on the edge of Covent Garden, so it might have been noted already by someone else.
