Underground Map (1968)
1968 was the year the Victoria line opened, the first new line in 50 years, and the first major shift to the tube map in 35 years.
To celebrate the London Underground's 150th anniversary, TfL commissioned five reproductions of tube maps from different periods, all made in Lego by Duncan Titmarsh, LEGO professional. Each map took approximately 4 days to complete and contained over 1,000 bricks.
The five maps come from different periods of London Undergound's history and were held at different stations over the summer:
1927 - designed by Fred Stingemore - this would be the last iteration of the map as a geographical overlay (at South Kensington)
1933 - Harry Beck's revolutionary design - the tube map became a diagram (at Piccadilly Circus)
1968 - adding the Victoria Line - the first tube line for 50 years (at Green Park)
2013 - the modern tube - the network as it is today (at Stratford)
2020 - the future view - at the tube will look in 2020 (at King's Cross)
