Back in 2021, graphic designer Helen Ilus released the Greenground Map. Inspired by Harry Beck’s iconic tube map, it joined the dots between London’s parks and nature spots, helping people to travel across London amid greenery.
Instead of tube stations, it linked the city’s urban oases: from forests and cemeteries to parks and waterways. And now, Ilus has released a new version – designed specifically for cyclists.
The London Greenground Map – cycling edition is the first schematic city-wide map connecting the National Cycle Network, Cycleways and the extended cycle network to green spaces and waterways. “Since I released the original map five years ago, it has grown significantly, now featuring over a thousand green spaces,” Ilus told Positive News.
