Anglophiles, you thought you'd seen all the best photos of London. Well, you haven't.
Name: Collage: The London Picture Archive, collage.cityoflondon.gov.uk
What it does: Offers more than 250,000 images of London from the collections at London Metropolitan Archives and Guildhall Art Gallery.
What's hot: Travelers can hunt for photos of that special pub they caroused in or browse historical photos from London's past. There are several ways to search, so don't feel as though you must use only the London Picture Map or the search bar. You can browse a variety of topics: royal or political events, viaducts, mythology, markets, street sellers, artists and many more. Did you find a favorite image? Collage allows you to register for free, build a list of your favorites, print the photos (with a watermark), buy a digital copy or order a print. Besides the more than 250,000 photographs, prints and drawings, there are more than 1,000 maps to view. Don't miss the "Popular Searches" in the left navigation bar if you need a tip on where to start.
What's not: Make sure you know the correct spelling of your search subject _ Leicester Square is tricky. The database is precise, and if you enter a typo or misspell a word, you'll see a page that lets you know "No items were found."
