Description

This child-like map of the centre of south London’s hipsterverse, with illustration from Charlotte Trounce, is rather charming. Get one of your own here. We could spend hours looking at every brilliant detail of this beautiful hand-illustrated map. We’re seriously not surprised that it took the artist, Cally Lathey, a dedicated 5 months to complete it! She drew the entire map using only fineliners and marker pens (plus heaps of talent and an incredible eye for detail). It sure is far more pleasant on the eye that the tube maps we glare at on a daily basis. From the colourful lights at Granary Square, to the elephant and castle at Elephant and Castle, we could spend hours finding the wonderful quirks in this map!

The drawing was very labour intensive and challenging, as it was so large. I had to come up with very inventive and resourceful drawing positions. I like to draw everything by hand using fineliner pens. Having completed the drawing, I then had my work scanned and began the extremely lengthy and arduous process of photoshopping and correcting blurred lines, smudges, pencil marks, rewriting words and fixing spelling mistakes, etc. This process took 3 months and was probably the hardest part of creating the piece, as it was so tedious and was during the glorious heat wave. It was also not helped by the fact I am dyslexic and terrible at spelling. I would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone for their podcast recommendations, without which I may have gone insane. THE FUN BIT...

COSTAlthough the process was lengthy and definitely challenging, I feel like I have learnt so much about the city that I have spent my entire life in and thought I knew so well. I have also poured in a great deal of my own experiences in London and have included references to a many of my favourite bands, films, books and places in the city. I hope others will also find something new when they look at my work. IMAGE GALLERY

The strong, vivid colours guarantee a pleasing and high quality appearance that is reliable and long lasting. Coverage extends from Regent’s Park in the north to Battersea in the south, and from Kensington in the west to Tower Bridge in the east.London’s buildings are too varying to be characterized by any particular architectural style because the city landmarks and buildings vary in ages. As you can see on this London map illustration, many architectural styles belong to different historical periods. Making the Illustrated Map of London History and Culture, my latest piece, has been, by far, the most challenging work I have completed to date. The map took me 11 months from start to finish. In that time we endured the freezing 'Beast from the East', celebrated a Royal wedding, had a glorious heatwave (known as summer in most countries) and football very nearly came home. I also got engaged and moved house. A lot can happen in one year.
