With Open City's Pocket London Tours subscription, receive engaging, incisively written and architecturally adventurous walking and cycling tours directly to your door each month.

The tours feature a wide range of authors, from veteran historians to established architects and emerging critics, tackling big themes while experiencing London's finest architecture. The maps are a high quality risograph print, and are delivered in a smart string and washer envelope for safekeeping. You can also get hold of a bespoke handmade presentation box with gold foil inlay handmade as well as a bonus back issue of our Pocket London guide to Woolwich by Rosamund Lily West if you'd like a sample tour straight away.

What's coming in 2024?

    • Lost Rivers of South London by Jon Newman
    • White City by Joanna Oyediran 
    • Festival of Britain on the South Bank by Jessie French
    • Nash Ramblas by Mike Althorpe (the London Ambler)
    • Swimming in the City by Phoebe Cripps
    • And much more from a wide range of writers, architects and tour guides

Note: working with different tour guides and institutions for each instalment of Pocket London sometimes means delivery date can vary from month to month but rest assured, each subscriber will receive all of the maps that are a part of their subscription. Thank you for supporting Open City's charitable works as a part of your subscription!

Please note this is a gift subscription which is not eligible for any discounts. If you would like to subscribe for yourself, and redeem a 50% discount for becoming an Open City Friend, please purchase a monthly subscription instead.

      Six month and twelve month subscriptions

      All prepaid subscriptions will renew on the 25th day of the month.

      If you would like to cancel during the six or twelve month period, please contact a member of the Open City team on sales@open-city.org.uk who will be able to help. When you buy a longer-term subscription, the costs of the maps are cheaper as it helps us to plan ahead accurately and fund their production. Those cancelling before the end of their subscription will be refunded the remainder of their payment minus the full RRP (£7.50) of each map already received.

      For new subscribers signing up before the 25th, you will receive the current month’s map on demand from our warehouse, and then will be added to the mailing list for the subsequent maps coming directly from the printer. This means that two issues may be delivered closely together, but you will receive six or twelve maps in total before shipments stop.

      Monthly rolling subscriptions

      Monthly subscriptions must run for a minimum of three months before cancellation. This is because a rolling subscription is offered at a discounted rate to allow us to better plan our print runs and allocate resources. If you would like to cancel sooner, please contact a member of the Open City team on sales@open-city.org.uk for advice.

      For our monthly subscribers, we are unable to offer a first map on demand, so your map will arrive at the start of the following month and at the start of each month afterwards for the duration of the subscription. New orders must be received before the 25th in order to receive the map for the subsequent month. After the first payment, monthly payments are taken on the 25th of each month.

      Gift subscriptions

      Gift subscriptions are set up as a one-off payment product, and not managed through the ReCharge portal. 

      Gift Aid is an income tax relief designed to benefit charities. If you're a UK taxpayer, Gift Aid increases the value of your charity donations by 25% because as a charity we can reclaim the basic rate of tax on your gift at no extra cost to you.
