Bus routes, tramways and Underground lines thread through the Handy Reference Atlas of London & Suburbs, a picture of how Londoners moved around their city just before the First World War. John G. Bartholomew prepared the mapping for this second edition, published by John Walker and Company in 1913. The atlas divides London into neighbourhood sheets running from the centre out to Hendon, Ilford, Chislehurst and Kingston, with railways and postal districts giving larger frameworks. The Thames docks, the northern suburbs and the southern tram corridors are all covered, and an index map and a map of London with the Home Counties tie the detailed sheets to their wider setting.
