Personalised Old Map of Haringey

Step back in time and explore your own corner of North London with a beautifully personalised old map of the Borough of Haringey. This unique map is more than just a decorative piece—it's a tangible link to the area's past, making it an inspired choice for personal keepsakes, housewarming gifts, or commemorating a special place in your family's history. Whether you’re a lifelong local, a recent resident, or searching for a thoughtful present, this custom map invites you to see Haringey as it once was, connecting memories to the landscape with remarkable detail.

Your map will span the captivating landscapes that now contain landmarks such as Alexandra Palace and the green expanse of Finsbury Park. It will also cover the historic neighbourhoods of Highgate Village and Crouch End, as well as the community hub of Tottenham Green. These locations—steeped in history, culture, and community—offer fascinating glimpses into Haringey’s development, even if some of the landmarks themselves were yet to be built when the map was originally surveyed.

Every detail of your Haringey map can be tailored to your wishes. Centre the map precisely on your home, a cherished address, or any significant location. Highlight meaningful spots, from a family house to a favourite park or the place where you first met. You can add a personalised dedication, craft a unique map title, or include an inside joke as a subtitle. Each map is individually prepared for you, so your requests—no matter how specific—can be accommodated for a truly personal work of art that tells your story.

This Haringey map is drawn from original Ordnance Survey sheets dating from the 1870s through to the 1960s—a period when OS mapping set the benchmark for cartographic precision and beauty. These maps were painstakingly surveyed by hand, capturing the urban and rural features of Haringey in astonishing detail, from winding roads to railway lines and green spaces. Their elegant, meticulous style is instantly recognisable and highly collectable, making your personalised map both a decorative focal point and a genuine piece of local history.

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 Haringey, 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.
