Lewes Tube Map - The Town as a Tube Map

My Lewes Tube Map is a Sussex wall art print showing the East Sussex county town as a tube map, designed as a quirky local gift or souvenir. Each Lewes landmark, street and local quirk sits on the map as a station, and the routes and connections between them run as tube lines, giving the town the London Underground treatment with a healthy dose of local irreverence.

I drew the Lewes Tube Map during the 2020 lockdown as a creative distraction. It was originally a one-off, but it found an audience quickly, locals enjoyed seeing their town treated like a transit network. The map celebrates Lewes's quirks, landmarks and stubborn independence. A bespoke, expanded version is on display at a local Lewes consultancy firm.

A Sussex Wall Art Print Gift for Lewes Locals and Visitors

The Lewes map isn't high art or historically precise. It's playful, witty and irreverent, gently teasing local quirks and landmarks while celebrating what makes Lewes one of the most distinctive market towns in Sussex. It hangs on a feature wall, in a Lewes home, a holiday cottage, a local business or as a quirky souvenir gift for someone who has spent a sunny day in town. It's also a good leaving present for anyone moving out of Lewes (they'll be back).

I print every map on archival paper using a Giclée process, in A1 and A2 landscape formats, framed or unframed. You can browse the full Other Tube Maps collection for related local and place maps.

What This Lewes Tube Map Shows

• Lewes landmarks and quirks as stations: each notable spot in town positioned as a station on the line.
• Connecting routes as tube lines: the streets and connections between the landmarks drawn as a London Underground-style network.
• Irreverent local detail: the map gently teases as much as it celebrates, in the spirit of a town that has never taken itself too seriously despite the Lewes Bonfire reputation.
• Designed in Lewes by a Sussex local: I live and work just down the road, so the map is informed by walking the town, not by a Wikipedia search.
• Giclée wall art print: printed on archival paper, available in A1 and A2 landscape, framed or unframed.

Questions About the Lewes Tube Map

Is this a Giclée wall art print?
Yes. I print every map using a Giclée process on archival paper, which gives a sharp, fade-resistant finish suitable for long-term display.

What sizes does the Lewes map come in?
A1 landscape (594 x 841mm) and A2 landscape (420 x 594mm), framed in black or white or supplied unframed.

Is this a good gift for someone from Lewes?
Yes. Locals tend to love it because they recognise the spots and get the in-jokes. It works as a housewarming, leaving present, birthday or quirky souvenir.

Is the map historically accurate?
No, and deliberately so. It's irreverent, playful and aimed at celebration rather than precision. If you want a precise map of Lewes, the Ordnance Survey has you covered.

Are there other Sussex tube maps available?
Yes. The Uckfield Tube Map is the companion print in the same series. The Brighton and Hove Albion History Map covers the football club just down the road.
