Hand Drawn London at the Museum of London

Some of you may remember a post from a while back about The Londonist's Hand Drawn maps of London. 

The Museum of London is now exhibiting 11 of the maps from 21st April to 11th September:

Hand-drawn looks at mapping London, not as a factual or geographical tool, but based on the individual experiences, perceptions and imaginations of Londoners. The maps have all been created by members of the public and are personal projections of their relationships with the capital’s landscape.

In partnership with Londonist.com (external link), readers were encouraged to submit hand-drawn maps, focussing on their own experiences and connections with certain areas of London. As well as being visually compelling, each map has an interesting story to tell. The narratives range from an amusing portrayal of London’s public toilets and an illustration of Brixton, under the guise of a tree, to the superimposition of the nineteenth-century Kensington Hippodrome on to present day Ladbroke Grove.

P.S  If you forgot to submit your map of Harringay to the exhibition, we'd still love to see your personal maps of the neighbourhood
