Mapumental
Mapumental is a travel-time mapping tool, built in collaboration with 4IP, which can help people work out where to live, where to find a job, or where to go on holiday.
How does it work?

If you’re house-hunting, find the right areas for an easy commute
No more stressing over the tube map, trying to work out where you can afford a property and still get to work in less than 25 minutes – we’ll make a map that shows you only the areas that match your acceptable criteria.
Choose your preferred form of transport
Want to get to work by any form of transport except the tube? No problem. Prefer trains to buses? Factor that in. Want to know the quickest way by any means? We can do that too.
Are you an estate agent? Jobs site? Tourist office? Retail business?
Visit the Mapumental website now to discover how we can help you differentiate yourself from your competitors with visually stunning and genuinely useful maps.
Mapumental works for train, tube, ferry, tram and bus journeys, and covers the whole of the UK.
Try it out
A demo site is currently available, and you can sign up to help us beta test the service by generating your own travel time maps.
Travel time maps for commercial websites
We are now offering Mapumental as a commercial product. We can provide small, static maps at a very low cost, and are also interested in collaborations for larger future projects. If your website offers location-related information, we can help you present it in interactive, innovative fashion that your users will find both useful and captivating.
