How things used to be: the London tube map, 1987

12 November 2009

With the new, restored-Thames, version of the London tube map due out soon, I thought it would be fun to dig out my 1987 copy of the tube map. Back then there was a Thames, an East London Line and Aldwych - but no Terminal 5, North London Line or DLR expansion:

    And Epping-Ongar! And Surrey Docks, not Surrey Quays.

    Ah yes, 1987. You could leave your front door unlocked in those days - and there were parties in the streets most weeks. Takes me back, it does.

    Y'see this is what the internet is for!

    Having walked past it so many times I have been meaning for ages to find out the history behind Strand (Aldwych) tube station. Now I know!
