\"carteblanc\"<\/p>\n

Here’s a lovely hand-drawn map of central London with a linguistic twist.<\/p>\n

It has been commissioned by the Brasserie Blanc restaurant group to celebrate Trafalgar Day (the anniversary of the Battle of Trafalgar) which is today. It was created by artist & cartographer Camilla Charnock. Spot “Le Pont de la Tour” and “L\u2019Eclat”. How about “L’Oeil de Londres”? Some things will never fully translate though – London’s newest skyscraper remains “Le Talkie Walkie”. <\/p>\n

The Brasserie Blanc restaurants will apparently using paper copies of the map as placemats! I may have just found a great excuse for a meal out this week. <\/p>\n

[Update<\/b> – You can download a high-quality PDF of a version of the map here<\/a>.]<\/p>\n
