This map is both a snapshot of London's literary history and beautiful in its own right.

More than 250 novels were mined in order to make the Literary London Map, taken from theLiterary London Art Collection.

It was created by graphic artist Dex in collaboration with interior designer Anna Burles.

Each character has been plotted in the corners of the city they most liked to roam or chose to call home (sometimes on Her Majesty’s Pleasure).
