By Kerry Lee – A Timeless Journey Through the Heart of London
Step into the vibrant past of England’s capital with this exquisitely illustrated pictorial map of London, originally designed in 1938 by renowned artist Kerry Lee for British Railways. Bursting with colour, charm, and vintage character, this captivating map offers a snapshot of pre-war London — a metropolis of red buses, bustling rail stations, and towering landmarks, lovingly depicted in delightful detail.
