London's planners wanted to turn the capital into a motorway city, drawing four concentric ring motorways around the centre and an array of radial routes travelling in and out. It would have changed London forever. /2

But the planners never saw the whole thing. It wasn't one plan, it was a whole city of individual plans, each one drawn up separately by different government bodies, departments, consultancies, engineers. They had a broad outline but nobody ever drew a map of the system they were creating. /3

The map we published today is the first one, *ever*, to show you everything they planned. Nobody in history has seen the whole, complete 1960s vision for London until today. At the outer zoom levels, you get an outline plan - colour coded to match the pages of our Ringways mini-site. /4
