From the West End to the docks, Croydon aerodrome and Muswell Hill, Bacon's Pocket Atlas of London follows the capital street by street into its spreading suburbs. Published in London by G. W. Bacon & Co., the atlas divided the metropolis into handy sections, and the editions here run from the 1920s into the 1950s. Central sheets cover Soho, Mayfair and Marylebone, eastern ones reach Poplar and Woolwich, southern coverage runs through Brixton and Streatham to Croydon, and northern sheets take in Hornsey and beyond. Underground and railway maps show how local streets fitted into travel across the city.
