The Cinema Isle: A UK Movie Map

Inspired by the Guardian online map of the US in movies I thought it would be fun to attempt a version for the UK. Despite my very best typographical attempts to channel the spirit of Saul Bass, it's not as pretty as the American version and neither as comprehensive or accurate for that matter.  Nevertheless, for your consideration, here it is:


It was an interesting exercise as some regions proved quite tricky to represent whilst others were spoiled for choice - predictably London is so overpopulated, it could likely warrant a map in itself.  I also had to take a couple of minor geographical liberties, so please accept my apologies if you happen to live somewhere I've misrepresented - I don't think I have much of a future in cartography.  Click here to download a high-res version.
