Description

The London Underground map, first developed by Harry Beck in 1931, is world famous as being an iconic schematic diagram, however as many know it isn't geographically accurate. This map shows the real route of the Tube and its stations.

At closer zoom scales you can also turn on 5 minute average walk times (please note, these are off by default) around each underground station. This distance is based on an average walking speed of 5 km/hr. These were calculated by generating geodesic buffers using ArcGIS for Desktop.


An in-depth description of the item is not available.

Did you block the conversion to kml, your posted elaborate geographic routes?

Hi there, Thanks for your question. As this web map is a tiled map service, unfortunately the options to export things like KML is currently unavailable. We apologise for the inconvenience.

Nice! I did a very similar map of the London Overground a few months ago since I could not find any precise London tube map. It took me a while to generate Underground lines from stations locations... Having this would have been much better :). Great work,

Just the other week I was wondering whether a "true" map of the Underground has ever been done...well, here it is !

This is great. I have been working on similar - but yours is better! Any chance of London Overground??!! P.S. I thought I had rated it 5 star, but it showed up as 4 for some reason - sorry
