Personalised Old Map of Putney

Capture a unique piece of your story with our personalised historical map of Putney, London. This bespoke map transports you—and anyone you gift it to—back in time, revealing how your familiar neighbourhood once looked decades ago. Whether you’re celebrating a housewarming, marking a special anniversary, or simply cherishing your local heritage, this custom map becomes a meaningful centrepiece and a fascinating conversation starter. Every map is handcrafted to reflect not only the geographical but also the emotional landscape of your chosen location.

Your Putney map offers a rare glimpse into the past, depicting the meandering Thames as it winds past Putney Bridge and the historic St Mary’s Church. See the green expanse that now forms Putney Heath, and trace the routes that would one day become the bustling Putney High Street. The map also shows the area surrounding the iconic University Boat Race start line, and the site where the old Putney railway station first connected locals to the city. These landmark locations help tell the story of Putney as it grew from a riverside settlement into a thriving corner of London.

You have complete control over the personalisation of your Putney map. Choose to centre the map on your own home, a memorable meeting place, or any address important to you. You can request specific locations to be highlighted—perhaps the spot where you grew up, your favourite riverside pub, or where a family milestone took place. Add a heartfelt dedication, choose your own map title and subtitle, or give it a witty caption or inside joke. Each map is individually made, so every detail is tailored just for you or your recipient.

Our maps are produced with uncompromising attention to quality. We use the finest giclée printing technology on archival-grade paper or artist’s cotton canvas, ensuring superb sharpness and colour fidelity that will last a lifetime. Select from a range of elegant FSC-certified wood frames with clear acrylite glazing, or opt for a gallery-style float-framed canvas for striking depth and presence. Sizes and finishes are available to suit every space, from stylish studies to welcoming family rooms.

Each map is created using genuine Ordnance Survey maps, originally published between the 1870s and the 1960s. These historic surveys are celebrated for their exceptional precision, artistry, and detailed portrayal of Britain's evolving landscapes. The Ordnance Survey’s meticulous cartographers painstakingly hand-drew these maps, recording every road, field, and building of their era. This map not only offers a beautiful visual window into Putney’s past but also stands as a testament to the enduring craftsmanship and accuracy of Britain’s mapping heritage.

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 Putney, 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.
