London Map Fair

If looking at our chaotic world through neat gridlines of latitude and longitude sounds pretty appealing right now, then hit up this long-running carnival of cartography at the Royal Geographical Society. After a two-year hiatus, dealers from around the world are convening again to show off their rare collections alongside a programme of fascinating talks and lectures. Beautiful maps of sixteenth-century London, vintage London Transport charts and intricate celestial globes will be a treat for the eyes. Although if you’re planning on adding to your own collection, be prepared to fork out a hefty sum; some of these prize specimens are worth nearly fifty grand.
