Note quite, but the Southwark Playhouse, a theatre in South London is
putting on a musical early next year called "The A-Z of Mrs P". It's
based on the autobiography of Phyllis Pearsall the eccentric founder of
the Geographers' A-Z Map Company.
On the linked page you can even here a preview of one of the songs, which
explains how Mrs P walked around the city getting to know it intimately -
it was this personal attention to detail that made the A-Z street maps the
ones that became the default choice of Londoners for the last 75 years.
