Atlas of Modern Britain

A Portrait in 55 Maps

This unique, revelatory and thought-provoking atlas combines head-turning data with eye-catching design to uncover the hidden geographies of everyday life in Britain.

Award-winning mapmaker Alasdair Rae explores everything from shipwrecks to football fandom, from house prices to peat bogs, from the location of Greggs and Pret to whether Alfred the Great was, in fact, a Liberal Democrat. His original maps reveal where to find Britain's remotest pub; which parts of the country make the best cup of tea; why Dorking experiences four times as many sub-zero days as Dulwich; where Britain's veterans live; the mystery of the Stonehenge altar stone; and why Leeds is bigger than Leeds, while Manchester is smaller than Manchester.

Each of the 55 maps tell a story. Together, they make us see an old country in an entirely new way.
