What if Grand Theft Auto was set in London? I've made a map to imagine London as if it was in GTA' universe – the city's geography is squashed, and I've re-branded certain place names the way GTA would – the whole city is relabelled 'Trafalgar'. Kings Cross becomes 'Dukes Cross', the Barbican Estate becomes the 'Bastion Estate', Angel becomes 'Saint'… you get the point.

I've also included Southend (Eastsea) and Brighton (Sunny Shore), as well as other National Parks, rural areas, small towns and villages, airports, and more.
I've explained the map and my process of creating it and choosing alternative names for places in a YouTube video I just uploaded: https://youtu.be/wlAZGUNG52Y
If I had my time again I might've included more countryside and wilderness as I think the best GTA maps are those with lots of different landscapes to explore… but this already took ages to create!
Be sure to also check out page 2 where I've had a go at creating a nationwide map GTA-ising different place names across the UK, as well as a fictional tube and bus map for Trafalgar.

Great map!

If we only had a way to [find out?](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grand_Theft_Auto:_London_1969)
Cool map though, love the name changes to places.
There needs to be a travel tavern at Linton. Perhaps with a bonus mission that, to the innocent bystander, may very well look like traffic cone theft.
where’s the grooming gangs and random stabbings encounters?
Wonder what GTA would be like with more knives/unconventional weapons and accessing bullets much later in the game
Love it!
Is there [a UFO](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rendlesham_Forest_incident) in the woods to the north east of Trenchard Air Base?
where is the strip club?
Love this! I’m all for the inclusion of a racing circuit, but Silverstone is comparatively far from London when you could have put Brands Hatch in the Canter Marshes area with no trouble!
My only complaint is I thought it was nice (and weird) that you’d included telegraph hill only to find you’d pinched the name for Crystal Palace.
Why did you bother changing the names in the first place?
This is dope. At the risk of doxxing myself, there’s a property for sale very close to where I live irl lol
Why did you annihilate Kent?
There needs to be Sheppey as an unlockable island!
