Well, not quite. There’s no Londonist logo for starters. But this intricate design from Nick Patchitt of Nick Prints does contain a mighty caboodle of London icons. Everything from the boat race to Del Boy’s van, and The Clash (twice). See how many you can pick out and, more importantly, what’s missing?

Screen prints of the design can be ordered from Nick.

    The Thames Barrier seems to be missing.

    fab image. But think there should be a Fairtrade Mark logo squeezed in, since London is the world’s largest Fairtrade city

    Nice idea although the lack of river thames is odd and the inclusion of the loathsome Tony ‘warmonger’ Blair is both baffling and nauseating.

    Great idea. Crystal Palace transmitter and Alexandra Palace for v. 2?

    How very cool.

    I personally cant’ find the thames, OXO tower, Millennium bridge, Marble Arch or any of the royal parks.

    I think Buckingham Palace is there, or is that Somerset House? (top left, ish)

    Love this, every time I look I see something I missed the first time

    Would like to add:

    The Crystal Palace FC Eagle (or the Crystal Palace itself!)

    The Shard

      I was thinking the Shard as well! and the lack of the River Thames and Battersea Power Station…

    I am lucky enough to have one of these prints. Endless praise from friends looking at it.

    I can’t help think that, from the list of not-really-day-to-day-London cliches included, and the *real* London landmarks omitted, that Nick might have never actually been to London.

    I also agree that the inclusion of Blair (and Thatcher and so on) is rather annoying.

    Maybe I’m missing it – but I can’t see any gay or lesbian couples on here? London’t one of the great gay capitals of the world, and there are a lot of ‘men and women in love’ icons on here – I counted three at a glance. Anyone else see anything I’m missing?

    The maker of this inforgraphic should be EXTERMINATED! (missing Dr. Who)

  • Jordan

    I’m sure I’m just missing it but does anybody else see any reference to Monty Python?

  • Wesjb

    He should add a TARDiS, Monty Python foot and the Stig’s helmet.

    And The Who…????

    Well, that is an interesting image. I cannot imagine that someone actually managed to put all the iconic landmarks in London in one tiny image. Good job!
    Congratulations!

    The Union Flag is wrong!?

    Its missing the TARDIS. That’s the only Doctor Who reference that might work within the framework of this piece.
