The Art Deco London Map is designed and printed in the UK in a combination of black and silver ink. It can be used as a guidebook or a wall poster, and follows on from the publisher's Brutalist London Map.
Art Deco is a decorative art and architecture style that emerged in the 1920s and 1930s, characterised by strong, symmetrical geometric shapes and modern materials from the time, like chrome plating, aluminium and bakelite plastic. It initially appeared before the first world war, but was popularised following the 1925 International Exposition of Modern Decorative and Industrial Arts in Paris, later spreading to the rest of Europe and the USA.

The style grew during a period of rapid industrialisation, making it a popular choice for London's tube stations, cinemas, theatres, factories and corporate headquarters.
