Tube maps

Having started to use del.icio.us recently I came across a geographical version of the tube map that I hadn’t seen in some time. It’s great – it shows you exactly where stations are in relation to each other geographically – but isn’t exactly that useful.

A little digging turned up this beauty on rodcorp’s blog which has taken the basic tube map and added dotted lines where it is quicker to walk between the stations – very handy for tourists, I presume, as they are renowned for taking the tube between Covent Garden and Leicester Square.

The tube map actually has significance for Finchley – my home – as it’s creator, Harry Beck,
Harry Beck, lived here and there is now a plaque dedicated to him at Finchley Central station.

For those looking for something amusing to give to the passing tourist, try The Great Bear or some of the silly maps.
