Back in July, we had a little cartographic meme going. I challenged you all to draw maps of your institutions and surrounding areas. So far, we’ve had hand-drawn charts of the Nature London offices, Toronto Discovery District, London’s NIMR, and, erm, Cromer.
To kick things off again, Sid Rodriques, whose name I always spell incorrectly, just to wind him up, has produced this etching of the area around LGC in Teddington, London. Apologies for the shaky photography.

Please send me your own hand-drawn maps of your local area. If you have a blog, feel free to post there, but make sure you use the tag sciencemap.

Credit should go to the lovely Randall Munroe of XKCD fame for that. (and yes, I think his choice of file number was delierate…)
Yes, Sid, I live in the opposite direction to the posh shops. (It was when I saw the then-being-excavated-space-for John Lewis that I said “that town is for me”.)
