Abstract
'Place' is both part of our everyday lives and a meta-concept of the discipline of geography. Yet, at a national level, how the Department for Education conceptualises place and, in turn, shares it with geography teachers varies significantly as iterations of the key stage 3 National Curriculum come and go. In emphasising that 'place' is more than just a point on the Earth's surface, we argue that students' geographical thinking can be enhanced when the concept is fully explored in their geographical education. This article critically considers how the Heritage Lottery-funded 'Layers of London' project can be used as medium to develop students' understanding of both London and place.
