Zoomable paper map of London


When I lived in Chiswick for 6 months, I seldom went out without a map in my pocket.  This one is cleverly designed:
It unfolds from a little square into a bigger, four-sectioned overview of the city-center. Any of these four quarters can then be folded out... to reveal a larger, zoomed version of the plan.

  1. The Japanese have been making maps like these of, for example, Tokyo, for quite awhile. They are very clever and easy to manage.

  2. Pietr, you do understand there's a joke involved in that statement, don't you?...
