Prompted by the thread that @old soup started this morning I did a quick google search looking for specialist walk-in map shops - there has never been that many - and - with the advent of the satnav it seems to me that over recent years that even the larger decent bookshops are not stocking many maps - (it used to be possible just to pop into the likes of WHS and pick up a half decent map (good enough to use until I found something better wherever i am touring ) of most areas of Europe )
My search in the end revealed just the two I know about
Stanfords - my goto map shop - relatively easy for me to get a train from here to London and go for a browse
The Map Shop - Upton on Severn, Worcs - I've never been there - it is a bit of a trek from here
There used to be a good shop by New Street Station in Birmingham - Last time I looked it had had gone and I haven't found any evidence that it relocated locally
Any others ?
