The Google Maps Alphabet: @londonist have just created a London one. The picture featured in this post takes aerial shots from around the UK and was created by 20-something Rachel Young as she recuperated from a road accident. She told the Daily Mail, “‘Being from Yorkshire, I knew that would be a good place for fields and hedgerows. I thought that cities such as London, Manchester and Liverpool would be a safe bet for odd-shaped buildings”. Rhett Ashwood, from Australia, has also created an Australian Googlemaps alphabet from images of the state of Victoria.
Crumpled City Maps are soft, yet hard-wearing, waterproof and meant to be creased and crumpled. Perfect for cyclists, I’d like to see the newest London Cycle Route maps printed on these - I’d pay for a copy!
