Tube Map Variations & Homages

Harry Beck’s London Underground map is a seminal piece of design, rightly considered the map which all transport diagrams are held to. Recently the Tube Map has become the go-to diagram to remix and reinterpret a whole host of information, with Simon Patterson’s The Great Bear in 1992 kicking off a flurry of remixes shown below.

Where possible, I have included high-resolution versions as an archive. Please note: these are not the actual Tube maps which are available on the Transport for London maps page and they are not reinterpretations of the actual Tube map.
