Bibliography of the home counties

This is a bibliography of the home counties of England that surround London. Generally included are Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Essex, Hertfordshire, Kent, Surrey, and Sussex but others more distant from London—such as Bedfordshire, Cambridgeshire, Hampshire, and Oxfordshire—are also sometimes regarded as home counties.

It includes general topographical works as well as non-fiction works on particular aspects of the home counties such as natural history, transportation, and military history. Maps stated to be for the home counties are also eligible for inclusion.
