The Heart of Lagos is a project initiated by Eddy Strayton, the owner and founder of Fools and Horses, one of the oldest bars in the centre of Lagos, Eddy says “that many of the bars and restaurants had been overlooked by tourists ever since the main street April 25th was pedestrianised. The effect of this was to open up more bars and restaurants to draw people away from the real centre of the city”.

The project was to created to produce a tourist map, similar in some respects to the many others produced, in essence, for the tourist community. However, The Heart of Lagos map differs because it focuses only on the centre of Lagos and the many quality bars, shops and restaurants that are overlooked in that area.
