Custom Old Map of London by John Rocque, 1746

Create your own custom, unique version of the greatest old map of London ever created. Put together by surveyor John Rocque and engraver John Pine in 1746, this map has an incredible level of detail.

The cities of London and Westminster are already quite developed, and south of the river in Southwark it's already quite dense. But in Lambeth it's all fields!

The full map consists of 24 sheets and was almost 4 metres wide by 2 metres tall! There is a huge amount of detail available here. We can create custom maps that centre on Buckingham Palace or Oxford Street or the fields around Marybone (now Marylebone, of course).

We can zoom in on a few streets around where you live today, or your favourite part of London. It would make a great gift for someone who lives in London, too - or anyone who wants to see what London looked like more than 250 years ago.

When ordering, please provide the details of what you'd like the map to focus on. The area, the landmarks, the roads, etc. I will send you a draft of your map before printing so that you can confirm it's exactly what you want.

This map is available as a giclée print on acid free archival matte paper, or you can buy it framed. The frame is a nice, simple black frame that suits most aesthetics. Please get in touch if you'd like a different frame colour or material. My frames are glazed with super-clear museum-grade acrylic (perspex/acrylite), which is significantly less reflective than glass, safer, and will always arrive in perfect condition.
