The Virtual Paul's Cross Project and the Map of Early Modern London



The Map of Early Modern London Project has established links to the Virtual Paul's Cross Project, describing the VPCP as providing "an excellent sense of space, proportion, and acoustics in London."

Thanks to the MoEML for these kind words. We will return the favor and link to it from the VPCP website.
