Personalised Old Map of Battersea

Step back in time and discover the rich heritage of Battersea with a personalised old map, lovingly crafted to centre on your chosen location within this vibrant part of London. Whether you’re commemorating a new home, marking a special occasion, or searching for a meaningful gift, this bespoke map offers a unique window into the storied past of Battersea. Each map is made to order, inviting you to explore how your neighbourhood or favourite spot looked decades ago, while providing a wonderful talking point for your home or office.

Your map will showcase areas of Battersea that now play host to renowned landmarks, such as the iconic Battersea Power Station, the tranquil Battersea Park, and the historic Albert Bridge. It will also reveal the neighbourhoods surrounding Clapham Junction station and the leafy expanse of Wandsworth Common. These maps are a fascinating way to see how familiar locations have evolved through time, offering glimpses of Battersea before many modern features appeared.

Every aspect of your Battersea map is fully personalisable. Choose exactly where the map is centred—perhaps your current address or the site of a memorable event. You can highlight important locations, mark family homes, or add symbols to denote special places. For an added personal touch, include a dedication message or customise the title and subtitle to reflect a significant date, an inside joke, or a heartfelt message. Each map is individually created by hand, ensuring your requests are woven into a truly one-of-a-kind piece.

Every option is designed to both protect and showcase your map for decades to come.

Our old Battersea maps are meticulously constructed from original Ordnance Survey sheets, dating from the 1870s through to the 1960s. These historic maps were drawn by expert surveyors and engravers, renowned for their accuracy and beauty. The OS maps feature intricate details of Victorian streets, riverside industries, and green spaces, capturing the landscape as it changed through the ages. Their timeless charm and precise craftsmanship make them not only a captivating piece of art, but also a valuable record of Battersea’s evolution.

Please note you are purchasing a fully customised old map. Modern landmarks, such as your house, may not have been built yet! You can contact me to check if a certain location, landmark or feature is shown on this map.

Generally, larger maps look much better than smaller maps, because you can enjoy all of the smaller details. If you need a smaller map, I would suggest ‘zooming in’ so that the map covers a smaller area.

Because these maps are custom made to order, we can make you a map that looks great at at any size, from very small (8x10in/20x25cm) all the way to a few metres. If you are looking for a very large map, please get in touch.

The model in the listing images is holding the 18x24in (45x60cm) version of this map.

Every map can be personalised or customised, for example if you want to mark your house or street on the map. The fifth listing image shows an example of my map personalisation service.

This personalised map would make a wonderful housewarming, birthday, Christmas, Father's Day, Mother’s Day, wedding anniversary or work leaving gift for someone from Battersea, or someone who works there.

This map is available as a giclée print on acid free archival matte paper, or on artist’s cotton canvas. Several frame choices are available for free, or custom framing is available for an additional fee. Please get in touch if you’re looking to order a very large map for a hotel or office, or if you’re looking for a size that isn’t available on my shop.
