Have you ever thought that maps were boring? Well, you’re wrong! There are various unique and personalised ways of navigating a place -- take Sohei Nishino’s Photographic Maps for instance! These maps are portrayed through Nishino’s perspective, hence you’ll get to see London from his perspective. Furthermore, other sorts of personalised maps are available to take map-reading to the next level.
Nowadays, many smartphone applications encapsulate the concrete information and other facts such as the history of places! The Streetmuseum allows provides a one-stop platform for you to compare views of the city to the past, with pictures from the Museum of London’s exhaustive repository now made publicly accessible.
Alternatively, if you prefer to do it the traditional way -- poring over pages and squinting at the ridiculously tiny road names, the Crumpled City Map is just for you as it is meant to be creased!
If you are still unsatisfied, perhaps because you are a fan of architecture or simply curious to see London from a bird’s eye view with the new Olympic stadiums? If so, check 0ut the impressive and amazingly realistic Pipers Central London model at the New London Architecture!
