Excellent map shop in Covent Garden.
The British section is downstairs; they stock the full range of Ordnance Survey maps as well as a large selection of London A-Zs and posters. They also stock an extensive range of the Alan Godfrey Maps historical Ordnance Survey map range.
Upstairs is an excellent selection of international maps, including most state and many local US maps. A large map table makes it easy to examine maps in detail before buying.
They also have a cafe on the ground floor at the back, run by the Natural Retail Company. Filled jacket potatoes or jacket sweet potatoes are all around £5, as are the wraps. Around a third of the menu options are vegetarian. Sandwiches are around £3.40 and drinks are £2-4.
Last visited by Ewan, December 2008. Opening hours and food details/prices taken from the Stanfords website, December 2007.
