They were produced for the Big Easter Egg Hunt in April last year. Each of the maps were of areas where Faberg\u00e9 eggs were &#8220;hidden&#8221;. Most of the 12 maps were of small areas, so you didn&#8217;t have to explore a huge area in order to discover the eggs. However the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.thebigegghunt.co.uk\/sites\/default\/files\/zone-maps\/egg-zone-12-canary-wharf.pdf\">Canary Wharf map<\/a>, featured above, covers a much bigger area. (I&#8217;ve also included a bit of the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.thebigegghunt.co.uk\/sites\/default\/files\/zone-maps\/egg-zone-11-city.pdf\">City map<\/a>, below.<\/p>\n<p>They might not be the easiest maps to use for regular navigation, but the style is attractive, with a nice pastel colour-set, and the oblique projection gives them a different feel to both the top-down (paper-map style) and isometric (SimCity style) maps which are more common.<\/p>\n<p>You can see <a href=\"http:\/\/www.thebigegghunt.co.uk\/join-the-hunt\/zone-maps\">all the maps here<\/a> although unfortunately the mobile version of the website doesn&#8217;t display the list of maps, and, we found, persists even when you pass your mobile browser as a desktop one! So, one to view on a regular computer.<\/p>\n<p>What I would love is this style of map covering the whole of central London.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/eggmap_city.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/eggmap_city.png\" alt=\"eggmap_city\" width=\"606\" height=\"418\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1860\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mappinglondon.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/eggmap_city.png 606w, https:\/\/mappinglondon.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/eggmap_city-300x206.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 606px) 100vw, 606px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I somehow missed, until now, this set of oblique-projected maps of popular parts of central London (thanks Chris Pearson for the tip!)
