"The Road from London to Arundel" is a notable work by John Ogilby, a 17th-century Scottish cartographer, publisher, and geographer. Published in 1675, this work is part of Ogilby's larger and highly influential atlas, "Britannia," which is considered one of the first road atlases of Great Britain. Ogilby's "Britannia" was groundbreaking for its time, offering detailed and accurate maps of the roadways, which were essential for travel and trade during the period.

"The Road from London to Arundel" specifically charts the route from the capital city of London to the historic town of Arundel in West Sussex. This route was significant during the 17th century, as it connected London with the southern coast of England, facilitating not only local travel but also trade and communication with continental Europe. Ogilby's meticulous work includes detailed descriptions of the road, distances, notable landmarks, and the geography of the regions traversed.

Ogilby's methodology in creating these maps was innovative. He employed the use of a surveyor's wheel to measure distances accurately, a practice that was relatively new at the time. His maps were also among the first to be drawn to scale, providing a level of precision that was previously unavailable. The visual representation of the route from London to Arundel includes various symbols and annotations that indicate inns, rivers, and other critical waypoints, making it an invaluable resource for travelers of the era.

"The Road from London to Arundel" not only reflects Ogilby's cartographic skill but also offers a glimpse into the infrastructure and travel conditions of 17th-century England. Today, it remains a significant historical document, providing insights into the development of road travel and cartography in Britain. Ogilby's work laid the foundation for modern road mapping and continues to be studied for its historical and geographical importance.
