Mapping History

Claire Rollet brings London’s iconic Blue Plaques to life with an illustrated interactive map celebrating notable women

Claire's latest commission transforms a stroll through central London into a vivid, layered experience.

Drawing from the English Heritage Blue Plaque scheme, she’s illustrated an interactive map that highlights influential women who lived and worked in the city - turning street names into stories.

Known for her elegant architectural line work, Claire adds a new dimension here by blending her style with digital interactivity, inviting viewers to engage directly with history. It's a compelling example of how illustrated maps can move beyond static visuals and become immersive storytelling tools.
