Mind the Map: Inspiring art, design and cartography

From 18 May – 28 October 2012 The London Transport Museum will be putting on an exhibition to showcase its extensive collection of outstanding maps. From decorative and digital maps, through to contemporary artworks and interactive mapping, Mind the Map has something for anyone who has an interest in the underground mapping, how it’s used today to get around the network and how this iconic design has inspired art, design and cartography.

For more details on this exhibition then click through to the London Transport Museums website.

Butler and Hill have not come up with a Tube map jigsaw as yet but we do have a London Map jigsaw centred on an address of one’s choice. Simply provide us with any postcode within the M25 and we will produce a one of a kind puzzle using Bartholomew’s London street level mapping. To get you started the centre piece is even shaped like a house.

Butler & Hill also have a great range of map gifts, from a wide range of Map Jigsaws to Personalised World Maps.

Have you been where the Queen’s been?

The Queen is probably the best-travelled monarch in history. To mark her Diamond Jubilee the BBC have plotted Her Majesty’s state and official visits to major cities (116 excluding the UK) around the globe over the past 60 years.

If you fancy visiting some of the destinations visited by the Queen over the years then look no further than Butler & Hill. With our Personalised World Traveller Map you can plan your world travels or reminisce with family and friends on the global travel adventures you have already made.

This map gift idea makes as great wedding present or graduation gift if your kids or grandchildren are off travelling on a gap year. The map comes with a number of different coloured pins and you can create your own key as well as adding a personal message before you receive the world map.
