Pricing and Licensing

The People's Map is purchased on a perpetual licence, which is significantly more cost affective in the long run compared to other competitors' pricing structures. Data can be purchased on a one off or annual update basis.

All the data is free from third party copyright and we claim no IPR on Derived or Associated data.

Prices for a single 5km by 5km tile range from £10 (for the use of a raster tile on a single terminal) to £160 (for use of vector data in a corporate environment).

For those who wish to create their own end-user product or service based on the People's Map, we will negotiate fair and flexible licensing terms.

Map Coverage

The People's Map of London covers a 400km² area with the centre point of the map based around Westminster. The map covers an area from Richmond Park in the South West to Epping Forest in the North East.

This product was created as part of a larger project, divided into 6 phases. Phase 1 is complete and phases 2 to 6, covering the remainder of the Greater London area, are now in the production which is scheduled for completion during the first half of 2010. The extent of this Greater London product is illustrated in the image below.
