Stanfords was established in 1853 by Edward Stanford, map seller. Today, 150 years on, Stanfords is the UK's leading specialist retailer of maps and travel books. Stanfords' flagship store in London's Covent Garden first opened its doors in January 1901 and today carries our complete range of maps, books and travel related goods. In addition, Stanfords has a store in Bristol and one in Manchester which offer similar stock profiles to that of the flagship store. We also have a Head Office in London, where our administrative staff are based. For more information about Stanfords' rich history, view Company History.
