Cassini’s Old Series, Popular Edition and Revised New Series maps are digitally enhanced reproductions of the original Ordnance Survey maps of the same names – but with a very important difference. We have combined, re-projected and enlarged them to match the scale and coverage of the present-day Ordnance Survey Landrangers®, so making direct comparison between the past and the present easy and accurate. The name and reference number is in each case also the same as the corresponding Landranger®. Click on the appropriate ‘Find Maps’ button above to locate the map/s you need.

Cassini's Past & Present Series take a different approach – each comprises four maps of the same area from four different periods between the 19th century all the present day. All maps have been digitally enhanced and are at the same 1:50,000 scale for ease of comparison. Click on the appropriate ‘Find Maps’ button above to locate the map/s you need.

The Cassini Historical Maps of London provide a unique and fascinating overview of 150 years of London’s rich history from 1805 to 1946.They reveal how the capital engulfed surrounding villages to become, for much of this period, the largest city in the world. Each map explores a crucial period in London’s recent history: the late Georgian (1805-22), the late Victorian railway era (1897-8), the dawn of the motoring age (1919-20) and the period of reconstruction following the Second World War (1945-6). Cartographical and historical notes provide background information to help bring London’s past to life.

If an original map can be improved with careful digital enhancement, then we’ll do all we can to make our resulting product better and clearer without compromising the character of the original. Many of our maps have been re-projected and enlarged from their original one-inch scale so that they match modern metric mapping conventions, so allowing for easier comparisons between the past and the present. Attractive, sturdy and eye-catching covers help protect the product and convey an immediate flavour of the period. We’re also developing new ways of providing historical maps, including on CD, on DVD and on-line.
