OS call that the "Standard Map", which is displayed to visitors to the "OS Maps" app who have not signed up for the subscription service (or logged in). After which you can see the "Leisure Maps" (Landranger and Explorer), the Night Map, and several other options.
The Standard map appears to have been made as information-free as possible, perhaps intentionally as a background to the street map overlay -- and presumably to encourage folks to sign up for a subscription. For example the OS Maps help page says helpfully "There is no legend available for the Standard map at the moment."
