London Lines: Mapping the Metropolis

A London maps salon hosted by author and broadcaster Travis Elborough

A rich and varied journey around the streets, tracks and layout of London in words, art, design and music. Hear the story of Phyllis Pearsall – who walked the city streets 80 years ago to compile her A-Z – from Gwyneth Herbert and Diane Samuels who created the musical The A-Z of Mrs.P. Celebrate the Tube map with design historian Mark Ovenden, and see the city turned into an extraordinary set of art works in Henry Eliot's book Curiocity.
