Here’s a Christmas present – a peak at a partially completed small section of the City of London map. Scale: 1:625 at if viewed on a 72dpi screen.

What’s shown: Buildings, passable and impassable walls/fences, and flower beds.
What’s not shown: Roads & pavement boundaries, underpasses, out of bounds areas, steps*. A couple of short walls are also missing.
* I hate drawing steps. Really, they are the most tedious part of creating orienteering maps. So, generally, they are the last thing I draw when doing the cartography.
