The Map Shop was established in 1975 by Tony Atkinson who began selling maps as a hobby, and has now developed into a successful international business selling and distributing maps world-wide.

The Map Shop is situated in Upton upon Severn, a small picturesque riverside town in the Heart of England. From these premises we offer both a counter and mail order service.

The Map Shop carries one of the largest inventories of maps and travel guides in the world with over 55,000 items in stock. The business is the UK agent for the official survey authorities for most of Europe, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, USA and many more. We are also an Ordnance Survey® Mapping Outlet.
