H and V grid roads
Main roads run in two directions across the city, meeting at roundabouts and dividing it into large squares that give the map its distinctive pattern.

The map
About this Milton Keynes map poster
Milton Keynes was designated a new town in 1967, and its layout is unlike any other in Britain. The city is organised around a grid of main roads, labelled H for horizontal and V for vertical, which meet at hundreds of roundabouts. Between them are self-contained grid squares, each a neighbourhood with its own curving streets. From above, the pattern looks like a slightly warped chessboard.
Green space runs through the whole plan. Balancing lakes such as Willen Lake, linear parks along the River Ouzel and the Grand Union Canal break the grid, and a network of shared paths called redways connects the neighbourhoods. The city is also known for its concrete cows sculpture, and Bletchley Park, the wartime codebreaking centre, lies within the borough.
A Milton Keynes map poster makes the logic of the plan visible at once. The long straight H and V roads, the dense rectangle of the central area and the organic streets inside each grid square create a composition that is both geometric and surprisingly soft. In black and white, the lakes and parks turn into pale shapes framed by the grid.

Central Milton Keynes
The city centre is a long rectangle of boulevards and blocks, more formal and regular than the neighbourhoods surrounding it.
Lakes and linear parks
Willen Lake, the River Ouzel valley and the canal run through the plan, creating wide green corridors between the grid squares.
