Herb Lester Associates' main activity is making beautiful maps of overlooked aspects of London and beyond, and in doing so they have incorporated into their business plan wandering around forgotten streets looking for interesting stuff. To this end their meanderings take them reporting on a button badge museum in Chicago, the beautiful Victorian Govanhill Baths in Glasgow and a taxidermy exhibition in Paris, as well as specialist and stylish shops like John Simons. Elsewhere they reveal a wonderful selection of found ephemera including a 1968 "good girl guide".
