Charrington's Map & Guide to London Football Grounds

Charrington Brewery published this exceedingly rare map of London's football grounds for the 1931/2 season. It marks the locations of 13 London football clubs and Wembley Stadium with green flags and identifies their closest Charrington pubs with black flags. Among the named clubs are some of England's most prestigious, including Chelsea, Tottenham, Arsenal, and West Ham, but also some lesser-known clubs, such as Clapton Orient (now Leyton Orient) and Charrington's company football team, informally known as Toby FC after the brewery's Toby Bitter. 

Charrington's Mile End brewery, which was in use until 1975, is also marked on the map. I worked in the Mile End Brewery in 1974, and you supported West Ham or something else!

Charrington's remaining pubs were sold off in 2000. However, some of the pubs listed on the map are still in operation, such as the King's Arms in Fulham and the Greyhound in Peckham, presenting an interesting opportunity for a historical pub crawl.

The map can come either printed on heavyweight 160 gsm paper or laminated. The paper version is perfect for framing under glass, and the laminated version is exceptionally hard-wearing as we use a true encapsulation of two pieces of 80-micron gloss laminate.

Alternatively, we can supply this map on 395 gsm HP Professional Matte Canvas using pigment-based inks - making the map highly durable and fade-resistant. The exceptional clarity of printing makes this map a stunning addition to any room, and its high quality means that it will provide years of enjoyment.

The easiest way to hang your canvas map is by having wooden hang rollers attached to the top and bottom with a hanging cord on the top roller, so all you have to do is put a hook on the wall. The hang rails come lacquered in a natural timber colour.

Note: Please allow ten working days to deliver hang-railed maps as they need to be attached by our framer.
