Google Earth downloads
We've taken a selection of maps featured in the London:
A Life in Maps exhibition and converted them into a Google
Earth layer. Take a look at London as you've never seen it before
by following the instructions below:
1. Download
and install Google Earth (if you don't already have it, it's
free from Google. NB: requires broadband internet connection).
2. Launch Google Earth on your PC
3. Open
the London: A Life in Maps layer (KMZ file; 3.4MB. This will
open the layer in Google Earth - it may take a few moments to load)
Alternatively, you can use the following
links to load each map from the layer into Google Earth one at a
time:
