Overview

The first full-size map of London drawn upside-down - this map surprises even those most familiar with the capital's cartography. It is a true, topographical map covering the whole of Greater London and its surroundings, but rotated 180 Degrees. With south at the top and north at the bottom, this map challenges conventional perspectives and helps people re-imagine London without the perverse and pervasive bias of north-up. The underground and overground rail networks help situate the map-reader spectacularly. Parks, woods, and open spaces form novel geometries that reawaken. Three recognisable London edges are imposed, and the water has turned gold! Printed in the same format as Ordnace Survey Explorer maps, over a meter wide, this paper map will look great on a wall or in the readers hands. Every station is marked and labeled along with hundreds of the key parks, woods and open spaces across the city. The waterways, lakes and ponds are drawn in gold. A great gift for anyone London-curious.

We break free of formal hierarchies and learn to read again."" Iain Sinclair, author and filmmaker. ""Wonderful, a genius new way of looking at the landscape of London."" Jack Cornish, author and walker. ""A stylish fresh perspective on the world's greatest city. We LOVE this map."" The Map Men: Jay Foreman & Mark Cooper-Jones, broadcasters. "
