They’ve certainly come a long way since founder, Phyllis Pearsall walked the streets of London creating the first A-Z. The company has an amazing history and has been helping people find their way for 80 years, teaching Taxi drivers the Knowledge and more recently, giving people something to colour in.
We have a particular penchant for A-Z maps here at Stanfords because the lower ground floor in our Long Acre store is in fact a giant A-Z map of London. It’s been the setting of many a shoefie.
Happy birthday A-Z. You look great for 80. ????
