Thanks to the Chairman of CASA, Prof Michael Batty, for tipping me off about this map of Olympic Venues in London, created by Katherine Baxter and Steven Potter of LondonTown. Above is just a small extract from the map. This is another in a good series of infographic maps that LondonTown has...

Recce is an iPhone app which locates you on a map and shows you various POIs (points of interest) on demand such as local coffee shops. Nothing particularly new – but it’s the map which makes the app come to life here. Instead of your standard 2D overhead map, or a muddy if...

Perhaps inspired by Joy Division’s Unknown Pleasures album cover (maybe a favourite for the commute?), Jon Reades (from UCL CASA- of course!) has created this beautiful infographic depicting “a week in the life” of the London transit system. Like all great data...

Eric Fischer produced this interesting data map of London a while back. The map is entirely made of of location coordinates included on Twitter tweets, and Flickr photographs, in the London area. Flickr photos show up as orange dots, while Twitter tweets show up as blue dots. In place on the...

Mapping London editors James and Ollie look back at some of the many maps produced each year in London to highlight the highs and lows of London life. As you can see there was more to 2011 than riots and Royal Weddings: hand drawn maps have never been so popular, nor have those showing...

Step aside Stephen Walter, over 270 UCL students (and staff) have created their own interactive hand drawn map of London. Organised by two students Alistair Leak and Ian Morton from the Centre for Advanced Spatial Analysis, the map has brought out some great insights into what people think of...

This map of mobile phone signal strength, produced by the GeoInformation Group this year, was one of the graphics featured in the exhibition that accompanied the launch of the London Mapping Festival at the beginning of June. The map, a raster at 5m resolution, shows how the mobile phone...

Some of the most popular posts on spatialanalysis are about typographic maps. I thought it would be cool to put together some of my favourite’s for London. Click on each image to see the source. So in no particular order here goes… Thames London Type Map London Linocut...

Embedded below is a high resolution version of John Snow’s 1854 map of the Broad Street (now Broadwick Street) cholera outbreak. Widely cited as the one of the first (and arguably best) examples of using spatial analysis in epidemiological studies, Snow’s map holds a special place...

A series of blue cycle lanes, branded signs, junction reprofiles and street furniture changes are gradually being built, creating a “hub and spoke” type network of fast cycle routes from inner/outer London into the centre. These are the Barclays Cycle Superhighways. Two are...

The Nike Grid was an Alternative Reality Game (ARG) for runners, held over two weeks on the streets of London late last year. After each day’s race, W+K, the campaign planners, produced a stunning infographic video showing that day’s runs, superimposed on a map. The routes were...
