London map poster
London follows the curve of the River Thames, with the historic square mile of the City at its centre and the West End growing separately to the west. There is no single grid: the city is a patchwork of villages absorbed over centuries, each with its own street pattern. What surprises most people is that the City of London (the financial district) has its own government, police force, and legal system. It is effectively a city within a city.

Frequently asked about London posters
What size is the London map poster?
The London map poster measures 30×40cm (roughly 12×16 inches), a standard poster size that fits most ready-made frames available at IKEA, high street shops, and online retailers.
What paper is the London poster printed on?
All London posters are printed on 200gsm archival matte paper with UV-resistant pigment inks. The paper is FSC-certified and the inks are rated for decades of display without noticeable fading.
Can I frame the London map poster?
Yes. The 30×40cm size is a standard frame size. You can find affordable frames at most home goods stores. The poster ships rolled in a sturdy tube and will flatten easily under light pressure or in a frame.
What is the difference between the London colourways?
The London poster is available in 11 colourways: from high-contrast Noir (black streets on white) to coastal Swell (teal tones) and electric Strip (neon-inspired). Each colourway uses the same map data but applies a different colour palette to streets, water, green spaces, and background. You can see all 11 on the London poster page.
How is the London poster made?
Each London poster is generated from OpenStreetMap data and rendered as a clean vector map. It is printed on demand when you order, which means no inventory waste and a fresh print every time.
Does the London poster show landmarks?
The poster focuses on the street network, waterways, and green spaces of London rather than individual landmarks. It is designed as an abstract city portrait where the street layout itself is the subject.
