Mapping London

London spreads across 32 boroughs and the City of London, from Richmond and Kew in the west to Greenwich and the Docklands in the east. The Thames winds through the middle, past Westminster, the South Bank and the Tower.

Use the outline to plan a walk along the Thames, map pubs and markets by borough, or draw delivery zones that follow the Tube.

How to make a map of London

  1. 1

    Start from the outline

    The map opens on London's city limits, locked so it won't move as you draw over it.

  2. 2

    Draw and add places

    Pick a tool from the toolbar to drop points, draw lines and routes, outline areas or add text. Search for any address or place to add it.

  3. 3

    Style it

    Choose colors, icons, labels and a basemap. Group features into folders, and add descriptions that pop up when someone clicks.

  4. 4

    Save it and share it

    Save the map to sign up free, and keep editing it in your account. Publish it at a link, or embed it in your website.

The docs go further: drawing, styling, importing your data and publishing.

Questions

Is this London map free?

Yes. You can draw on it without an account, and saving your map to a free squidmaps account doesn't cost anything during the beta.

Do I need to sign up to use it?

No. Draw as much as you like: your map is kept in this browser while you work. To keep it for good, edit it later and share it, save it and sign up with your email address.

Can I add my own places to the map of London?

Yes. Search for addresses and places, drop pins, draw routes and areas, or import a spreadsheet, CSV or GeoJSON file of your own.

How do I share my map?

Once it's saved to your account, publish it: it gets its own link that anyone can open, and code to embed it in a website.

Can I download a map of London?

You can export your map's features as GeoJSON or as a squidmaps map document from the menu under the squid, and open them in other mapping tools.
