Each map is meticulously reproduced using advanced giclée printing on archival-quality art paper or cotton artist’s canvas, ensuring exceptional vibrancy and longevity. You can select from several elegant presentation options, including FSC-certified wooden frames with crystal-clear acrylite glazing, or opt for a stretched canvas finished with a “float” frame for a gallery-quality appearance. Every map is made to order to exacting standards, making it a visually striking and durable keepsake.

The maps are created using authentic Ordnance Survey sheets from the 1870s through to the 1960s, renowned for their exquisite detail and accuracy. These historic OS maps were originally surveyed with precision and hand-drawn by skilled cartographers, capturing every street, park, and landmark in the borough. Their distinctive Victorian aesthetics and fine-grained detail give them a timeless quality, providing a fascinating glimpse into the urban evolution of Hammersmith and Fulham through the decades. This is more than just a map—it’s a window into the borough’s past, brought beautifully into the present.

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 Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham, 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.
