About London Explorer
An interactive guide to London and its history, featuring over 100 famous, quirky and vanished locations.
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:
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 associated with Shakespeare.
Map Explorer: view the same locations as in the 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 350 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 a host of new locations and new features. Watch this space!

What's Changed
An interim re-fresh throughout the app, plus (hold your breath with excitement) we've added the nearest Tube station(s) to each location. Lots of minor optimisations, some new locations, more images, plus some updates to reflect changes (e.g. the removal of London stone from Cannon Street).
Please keep your feedback coming so we can continue to improve this app.

I am at once impressed and also a bit anxious about this app. It is a really fascinating and beautifully constructed work, but as I was embarking on planning a mobile companion to the River Thames, I could only be envious of the content and presentation. It is a most worthwhile and great addition for anyone interested in how London has developed through time.
