deals Based on Rome2rio's routing engine, this isochronic map beautifully illustrates travel distances from London to anywhere in the world in a given amount of time.

On the bottom left is the original 1914 isochronic map by John George Bartholomew, a British royal cartographer who worked for King George V.

Story

One of Rome2rio's senior engineers, Miles Izzo, wondered how an updated version of Bartholomew's 1914 map would look. He began a collaboration with front-end design team member Andrew Greig to replace the 1914 lines from the original map with up to date information.

Miles used Rome2rio's routing engine to generate a rough heat-map of the travel times from London to every airport around the world. Andrew then used the generated heatmap as a base to create the 2016 version of the world travel times map.

Wellingtons Travel Co. is proud to be the exclusive publisher of this innovative and thought-provoking map.
