Rediscover the historic heart of north-east London with a personalised old map of the Borough of Waltham Forest. Whether you’re commemorating your own connection to the area or seeking a thoughtful gift for a local resident, this bespoke creation offers a captivating window onto the neighbourhood’s past. The unique blend of cartographic artistry and personalisation makes each map a meaningful centrepiece—perfect for birthdays, anniversaries, or simply celebrating the character and history of your home.

Your map will capture the rich tapestry of Waltham Forest as it was between the late Victorian era and the mid-20th century. The map encompasses sites such as Epping Forest, the ancient woodland that inspired generations; Lloyd Park, which has been a cherished green space for decades; the historic Walthamstow Village; the River Lea meandering along the borough’s edge; and the former site of the Walthamstow Greyhound Stadium. These locations are part of the landscape revealed, whether or not their most famous features had yet been constructed.

Fully personalisable, your map can be centred on any address—perhaps your childhood home, a relative’s street, or a meaningful gathering place. Highlight up to five special locations, such as schools, meeting spots, or places of family significance. Customise the title and subtitle to reflect your story, and add a dedication message for a personal touch. Every detail, from the style of the markers to the wording of the dedication, is crafted to your specifications, making each map entirely unique.

Every map is carefully mounted and finished by hand, ensuring a lasting and impressive presentation.

Our maps are based on authentic Ordnance Survey sheets from the 1870s to the 1960s, renowned for their meticulous detail and timeless aesthetics. These maps were created through painstaking ground surveys and manual engraving, reflecting both the artistry and accuracy of Victorian and early 20th-century cartography. The result is a beautiful record of Waltham Forest as it once was—capturing the essence of the borough’s streets, green spaces, and waterways, and preserving the area’s heritage for generations to come.

Please note you are purchasing a fully customised old map. Modern landmarks, such as your house, may not have been built yet! You can contact me to check if a certain location, landmark or feature is shown on this map.

Generally, larger maps look much better than smaller maps, because you can enjoy all of the smaller details. If you need a smaller map, I would suggest ‘zooming in’ so that the map covers a smaller area.

Because these maps are custom made to order, we can make you a map that looks great at at any size, from very small (8x10in/20x25cm) all the way to a few metres. If you are looking for a very large map, please get in touch.

The model in the listing images is holding the 18x24in (45x60cm) version of this map.

Every map can be personalised or customised, for example if you want to mark your house or street on the map. The fifth listing image shows an example of my map personalisation service.

This personalised map would make a wonderful housewarming, birthday, Christmas, Father's Day, Mother’s Day, wedding anniversary or work leaving gift for someone from Borough of Waltham Forest, or someone who works there.

This map is available as a giclée print on acid free archival matte paper, or on artist’s cotton canvas. Several frame choices are available for free, or custom framing is available for an additional fee. Please get in touch if you’re looking to order a very large map for a hotel or office, or if you’re looking for a size that isn’t available on my shop.
