The Cambridge Station cycle park has its perk for map lover coming home by night

Harry shared this map that he spotted on his holiday in Brazil “I also saw this nice wall in a restaurant on Ilhabella which maybe scores better on the “maps as art” criteria.” I like the way that the land is cut out of the plaster exposing the brick.
