Thanks to Jonathan at the Map Room blog for pointing out this fabulous historic map resource. Old London Maps is a free repository of 16th to 20th century maps of London. The purpose of this collection is to offer access to scores of rare historic maps, engravings, and plans of Old London for use by historians, genealogists, and those who are simply curious.

Along with the fantastic map collection is over 500 pages of information and articles and a collection as many as 4000, when the uploading is complete, 19th and 20th century photos related to Old London.
