Everything from Roman remains and museums, to housing estates and chicken shops feature in Angry Dan's artwork.

A street artist has created a huge cartoon map of London to celebrate the capital's past and present cultural icons.

The Walthamstow-based artist said he wanted to "create one huge artwork to remind us all why London is such an amazing place to live".However, he was inspired to take to his studio and start the map following a stint as a London tour guide for some visiting foreign language students. Dan's extensive efforts were led by a desire to represent each area as well as possible - not least south London, being that he is someone who has lived north of the river for much of his 19 years in the capital.

Current and historical famous figures are also represented. Alan Turing’s Maida Vale birthplace is marked with a computer, while Mo Farah's trainer can be found in the south-west of the city.The Bank of England is shown as a pink piggy bank beside the Leadenhall Building, more commonly known as the Cheese Grater
