London Geographic Tube Map

London Geographic Tube Map

Mark Noad created this geographical London Tube Map. Showing all stations on the underground network related in real-world locations. Note the River Thames is a realistic shape.

The map is an unofficial response to a recent backlash against the original version, created designed by Harry Beck. This is often described as a ‘classic’ schematic map , showing routes and stations logically rather than geographically.

The Hot Tube [underground] Map

The Hot Tube [underground] Map



Transport for London have release a snapshot of the temperatures that were recorded July 28th - July 29th 2009.
Central Line was the hottest with temperatures up to 32C.

Temperatures seem to be at the highest during 4pm and 7pm


"TfL have revealed the hottest spots on the London Underground to identify the areas which need the most cooling. The heat map compiled on July 28 - one of the hottest days of the year, showed the Central Line was the warmest. Luckily it was already coloured red. That part of the network was above 30C (86F)."

(In previous tests , temperatures in some parts during the summer have exceeded 35C, which would make the network officially unfit for transporting cattle.)


Now if only there was a live version of the map, in real-time.
