The name of each road has been repeated along its length to build up the street geometry and the big features such as Hyde Park and the River Thames have had their names packed multiple times into their boundaries to make a great textured effect.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><a href=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/09\/axis1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter  wp-image-1599\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/09\/axis1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"625\" height=\"352\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mappinglondon.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/09\/axis1.jpg 2754w, https:\/\/mappinglondon.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/09\/axis1-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/mappinglondon.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/09\/axis1-1024x577.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 625px) 100vw, 625px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\"><a href=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/09\/axis3.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-1603\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/09\/axis3.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"605\" height=\"387\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mappinglondon.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/09\/axis3.jpg 2403w, https:\/\/mappinglondon.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/09\/axis3-300x192.jpg 300w, https:\/\/mappinglondon.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/09\/axis3-1024x655.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 605px) 100vw, 605px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\">We really like the way the fonts have been carefully chosen to match the features on the map and the muted colour scheme. A lot of typographic maps lack detail (they often go for big blocky fonts covering\u00a0fairly\u00a0large areas) so it is nice to see so much included in these. The quality of the map is great and it comes crisply printed on semi-gloss paper ready for framing. At \u00a324 (plus postage) I think they are amongst the best value &#8220;art&#8221; maps of London I have seen. <a href=\"http:\/\/store.axismaps.co.uk\/product\/london\" target=\"_blank\">Click here<\/a> to find out more.\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/mappinglondon.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/09\/axis2.jpg\"><br \/>\n<\/a><a href=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/09\/axis1.jpg\"><br \/>\n<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It seems there is no escaping typographic maps of London, the idea has really taken off over the past couple of years.
