Collection: Herb Lester

Since 2010, Herb Lester has been creating beautifully illustrated maps and guides that explore the distinctive, unusual and sometimes downright strange corners of the world's great cities.

Their collection takes travel beyond the traditional guidebook, charting locations connected to literature, rock'n'roll, the occult, popular culture, food, drink and urban life. Alongside real-world destinations, Herb Lester ventures into fictional territory, creating souvenirs from places that exist only in stories, imagination and pop culture.

Each guide is designed to make you look at a city differently — whether you're discovering a favourite neighbourhood, following in the footsteps of a fictional character or exploring a more unexpected side of somewhere familiar.

Herb Lester's products are litho-printed in England on sustainably sourced paper. It's a slower and more costly process than digital printing, but the resulting quality, texture and character are part of what makes these maps and guides worth collecting.

For curious travellers, map lovers, design enthusiasts and anyone who likes their city guides with a little more imagination.
