It is also accessible through the London Map page at the MAPCO website:

The enlarged images ('click-to-enlarge') for this map are the largest MAPCO
has ever produced, and the detail is truly stunning. This is arguably the
finest MAPCO map on display, and will be of great interest to those wishing
to study old fans of lines in London's Docks, Tunnels and their vent shafts,
old stations and their approaches. Try looking for the Great Northern
Cemetery Station, right next to Kings Cross, it's there and the station and
surroundings are clearly shown. This map also shows many of the old
landings and stages on the River Thames, most of which have long been
swept-away by development. The good old Surrey Canal can be followed and
even Brunel's Thames Tunnel is clearly shown!

Enjoy this beautiful, unique, high quality map of London!
