\"Geographical<\/a>Having started to use del.icio.us<\/a> 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.<\/p>\n

A little digging turned up this beauty<\/a> on rodcorp’s blog<\/a> 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<\/a>.<\/p>\n

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

For those looking for something amusing to give to the passing tourist, try The Great Bear<\/a> or some of the silly maps<\/a>.<\/div>\n
