LONDON BLOCK BY BLOCK is published in the UK and North America by OH!, an imprint of Welbeck Publishing. Here’s the English-language synopsis…

London is a spectacular place to visit, and there are endless things to see and do all year round.

In London, Block by Block, illustrator Cierra Block shares 40 maps showing the best places that London has to offer, whether it’s the food or history, culture, shopping, beautiful buildings or gardens. Each map starts with an idea — it might be, Where are the best pancakes in London? What are the places everyone should visit in Marylebone? Or, Where in London can you lose hours browsing the shelves of a beautiful bookstore? From there, Cierra has curated a list of the best places and has painted a charming accompanying map. From best afternoon tea to most impressive views, haunted places and things to do in summer, there really is something for everyone.

This book will be an inspiration for all, whether it’s your first visit to London, you’re a seasoned vacationer or an all-your-life local. That’s the wonderful thing about London — there’s always more to explore!

Associate publisher of OH! Editions Kate Pollard had this to say of the books…

‘Cierra’s maps are not just beautiful to look at, they contain addresses of hidden gems that even London locals might not know about. I’m thrilled to have worked with Cierra on this project, and I must confess that I myself have discovered some new haunts and rediscovered some areas of London I’d forgotten about during lockdown. I’m very much looking forward to working with her on her next instalment.’
