Design of the London Tube Map
The first diagrammatic map of the London Underground was designed by Harry Beck in 1931. Beck was an Underground employee who realised that because the railway ran mostly underground, the physical locations of the stations were irrelevant to the traveller wanting to know how to get to one station from another. This talk considers the Becks work in light of modern wayfinding theory.
