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.
