I have just finished this Illustrated map of London, which took over 1000 hours to complete.
​
On Sunday September 8th, a 5000 square ft. version of this map was installed in the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park, for London Mural Festival.​
​
You can listen to my interview about the map with Alice Dale in BBC Radio London on the player below.
Some more information about the map:
​​
-
It took over 1,000 of research, planning, and drawing to create.
-
It was drawn in my home studio over a period of 6 months.
-
It has over 850 landmarks, and I think it might be the most detailed London map of it's kind.
-
It covers from Wembley (NW) to Greenwich (SE), and from Epping Forest (NE) to Kingston (SW).
-
In addition to my existing knowledge of the London, I researched the map's contents by reading dozens of online articles and blog posts, joining London-focussed Facebook groups to ask members for suggestions, and starting a thread on Reddit to invite people to contribute.
-
I have lived in London for 19 years.
