This is the most professionally finished and most up to date I've seen so far, but strictly speaking this isn't a new idea. Still, useful stuff.

It's a great accompaniement to the original tube map, looking at central london the design now bears some relation to the streets i know above ground. it's not as messy as people have said, either. am so surprised at all these negative comments!

It's not been made to replace the existing one, so why the complaining. In London my friends are always suggesting places to go, and with certain tube lines being closed or slow, i find myself switching between my tube app and iphone map to work out the best route. This extra detail is fantastic and I always wondered how the northern lines crossed, and mange to link up with the Victoria northern line. Made myself dizzy thinking about it. This is an ace map.

Congratulations London tube on your graduation! I love it! I always thought our London tube map was 'primary school' level and the Paris Metro map was 'University' level.
