An Introduction to the All London Travel Planner
Quickmap’s All London Travel Planner is London’s ‘places’ map and London’s first integrated public transport network diagram out to the M25.
Based on an entirely new survey of London, the All London Travel Planner offers a very different view of the Capital from the Tube map that covers half of London and from street atlases as road directory.
In geographic approximation, it highlights town centres and many other centres relative to interchanges, stations and transport routes and the buses, tubes and trains that serve them.
It shows regular daytime and evening services across the Capital but excludes N night buses and those outside the Travelcard network and where services are intermittent.
Bus frequencies, fare zones, fast non-stop rail and bus services within the Capital are shown, including parks and open land for recreational purposes and more.
A consistent approach to place classification and naming of centres and nodes has been used with ‘on the ground’ and multiple source verification. Where differences occur, these often reflect local variations.
As a wall planner or in the folded format, it is ideal for travel planning, locational planning, visiting and commuting, event management, tourism and economic development.
It also offers the basis of a surface diagram of London’s nodes, centres and places from which the London Walking network can be developed along specific bus routes and named streets.
With compression at the edges, the diagram covers an area from Enfield in the north to Caterham in the south, and from Uxbridge in the west to Upminster in the east. Comparable maps are twice the size.
The All London Travel Planner gives a strategic view and local context for the Capital and when used with detail maps, delivers a real-life base map for Londoners.
It also represents the economic pattern of connected London.
The graphic database is being developed with GIS information for future publications, products and services within the Quickmap ‘all-on-one’ map series.
With a commitment to design simplicity, publisher independence, first hand surveying and sustainability, Quickmap always takes a fresh look at city and transport information from the users’ perspective giving travel confidence whenever and wherever needed.
Quickmap thanks Blueprint for bringing this new London diagram to the attention of its readers and wider public.
