    Well deserves its 5 stars! Caroline Roope’s book, The History of the London Underground Map, is predominantly a history of the London Underground: its formation from a bunch of independent small companies into the Underground Electric Railways of London, which was then subsumed within the London Passenger Transport Board.
    Maps of the London Underground, were geographic representations, although there were attempts by map designers to simplify the route maps. Beck’s iconic London Underground Map was first published in 1932. It was very well received by travellers and commuters.
    Another early combined map was published in 1908 by the Underground Electric Railways Company of London (UERL) in conjunction with four other underground railway companies that used the ‘Underground’ brand. The map showed eight routes, omitting stations from further out of the centre to make the map easier to read.
    The map was designed in Beck’s own time and without a commission from the London Passenger Transport Board. His original sketch was drawn in a school exercise book, whilst he was ‘laid off’. Beck’s London Underground Map, is now regarded as an iconic design, as it has inspired other map layouts throughout the world.
