If looking at our chaotic world through neat gridlines of latitude and longitude sounds pretty appealing right now, then hit up this long-running carnival of cartography at the Royal Geographical Society. Dealers from around the world are convening again to show off their rare collections alongside a programme of fascinating talks and lectures. Beautiful maps of sixteenth-century London, vintage London Transport charts and intricate celestial globes will be a treat for the eyes. Some of these prize specimens are worth nearly fifty grand, but fear not, this event is welcoming to map fans of every kind, with talks about map collecting for beginners giving you an intro to this niche-but-fascinating hobby.
