Visiting London, or think you already know everything about it? Then think again – there's always something new to learn about London!

This app includes:

Street Explorer: view over 100 London locations alphabetically, or by those nearest to you. Interact with historic maps of each location, and then view the location mapped on the London of today. Read about the history of each place and interact with historic and contemporary images. Search for anything that interests you — for example, search for "Shakespeare" to find any locations in the app that mention Shakespeare.

Map Explorer: view the same locations as in the Street Explorer, but in an interactive map format instead. Tap on a location to explore it in more detail.

Old Maps: explore three historic maps of London — Roman London, London in around 1563 (the time of Queen Elizabeth I) and Hollar's beautiful map of London in the 17th century.

Panoramas: explore three historic panoramas of London as seen from south of the river Thames. Wyngaerde's panorama from 1543, Visscher's panorama from 1616 and Hollar's panorama from 1647.

With over 400 images, more than 200 historic map images and over 100 locations, London Explorer provides a novel way to get to know this great city and its history.

Future planned updates include new locations and new features. Watch this space!
