Interactive & editable digital maps
A month ago, the Maproom directors spotted that one of our demo maps was inexplicably showing hundreds of rays emanating from a point in the Atlantic Ocean off the northwest coast of Ireland.
We found odd bugs on several other maps – maps that had worked perfectly for years in all major browsers were displaying peculiar artefacts at different zoom levels. The artefacts were observed only in Chrome, not Safari, Edge or Firefox.
Maproom’s base maps make a subtle appearance as set dressing in The Capture, the BBC drama that lives and breathes surveillance, AI, and the manipulation of reality. Set against a world where images can be fabricated and truth is constantly in question, the inclusion of maps in scenes with banks of surveillance screens adds an essential layer of authenticity – ironically grounding a story built on deception.

All 33 London borough maps are now available individually or in a discounted bundle set. Scaled for legibility at A1, they show a wealth of detail and isolate the shape of each borough with a semi-transparent mask. Supplied in PDF, SVG and Adobe Illustrator formats, they are perfect for use as they are, or for graphic designers to edit.
We were pleased to see Maproom’s Greater London map base put to good use within this week’s episode of Silent Witness. (All of our downloadable maps can be used for set dressing and TV graphics.) Here, the fictional pathologists are plotting points and trails in Southeast London to help catch a serial killer.
