Who needs Google Maps…

…when you’ve got coloured crayons?

Here’s a handmade map of the area around Nature’s London offices, with a few features of interest highlighted. (Click for larger view.)

Although the King’s Cross area is blighted by train lines and traffic, there’s still plenty to see within a square half-mile or so. Ask me for a tour if you’re ever visiting.

Now it’s your turn. I’ll award a map-based prize to whoever can hand-draw the best chart of the area around their own institution. If you post to a NN blog, tag the post with ‘sciencemap’ so we can collect them all together. And if you need somewhere to upload the image, just send it my way and I’ll stick it on a Nature server and send you the code.
