If you can ignore the dreadful intro, there’s a cute little Flash thing here which compares Harry Beck’s original 1933 London Underground map with the 2003 version, and then the geographical ‘reality’.
The Real Underground [req. Flash]
[via Paul Hammond – thanks!]
fantastic
someone should send it to Ken Garland
Wish I’d have seen the ‘Real Underground’ with the overland map and the stations marked when I was living in London for a 2 month assignment. I love the metamorphosis of the maps . . . fascinating to see the river shift.
