Your map encompasses the historic grounds of Hampstead Heath, the elegant terraces surrounding Kenwood House, and the neighbourhoods near Parliament Hill.

Every map is fully personalisable, allowing you to choose the exact centre point—be it your current home, a childhood house, or any significant address in Hampstead. You can request special locations to be marked, such as your favourite pub or the site of a cherished memory.

Our maps are recreated from original Ordnance Survey sheets, published from the 1870s through the 1960s—a period of remarkable change and growth in Hampstead. These OS maps were renowned for their intricate hand-drawn detail and cartographic precision, capturing everything from footpaths to boundary lines with striking clarity. Whether you select an early Victorian-era map or a mid-century edition, you’ll own a piece of cartographic history that showcases the unique character and evolution of Hampstead in exquisite detail.

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 Hampstead, 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.
