A world map of legendary shops: historic, authentic and much-loved places that have been part of their neighbourhood or city for decades, often more than a century. Old bookshops, family grocers, markets, confectioners, hatters, herbalists, knife makers and heritage department stores, from famous institutions like El Ateneo Grand Splendid and Strand Book Store to humble neighbourhood treasures. Each shop links to Google Maps and includes a short note on its history and what to look for.
