The London Encyclopaedia

The first edition of the encyclopaedia was compiled over a number of years by the antiquarian bookseller Ben Weinreb[3] and the historian Christopher Hibbert.

[1] It has around 5,000 articles, supported by two indices, one general and one listing people, each with about 10,000 entries, and is published by Macmillan.

In 2012, an app was developed by Heuristic-Media and released as London—A City Through Time.

[1][2] Toby Evetts and Simon Reeves, partners in Heuristic-Media, discussed the development of the app with The Guardian in 2013, describing how 4,500 entries had to be plotted onto a guide map by hand.
