The plan is full of interesting maps, but one of the nicest looking ones is on the front cover. It&#8217;s an illustrative map created by, we believe, artist <a href=\"http:\/\/kallwejt.com\/\">Jan Kallwejt<\/a> (<a href=\"https:\/\/handsomefrank.com\/illustrators\/jan-kallwejt\">portfolio<\/a>) which combines geographical landmarks, in their approximately correct relative locations, with illustrative features of the London experience &#8211; tube station roundels, parks with trees, and building terraces. <\/p>\n<p>As this is a plan for the future of London, there are also some future references &#8211; tunnel portals for the proposed Crossrail 2, for example.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/mappinglondon.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/londonplan_detail.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"1200\" height=\"831\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-6141\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mappinglondon.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/londonplan_detail.png 1200w, https:\/\/mappinglondon.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/londonplan_detail-300x208.png 300w, https:\/\/mappinglondon.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/londonplan_detail-768x532.png 768w, https:\/\/mappinglondon.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/londonplan_detail-1024x709.png 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>We really like the colour palette &#8211; yellow, cream, brown and green predominate.
