The largest antique map fair in Europe, the London Map Fair was established in 1980 and, we are told, brings together 40 leading antiquarian map dealers, and hundreds of other dealers, collectors, curators at the Royal Geographical Society, with maps on sale from £10 to £100,000.

I can highly recommend 'The History of London in Maps' by Felix Barker and Peter Jackson.

I love maps and this sounds great!
