A map of the London Underground network in 1947 showing sections of the Northern and Central Lines still under construction. Contrary to the standard Harry Beck pamphlet maps and posters, this map overlays the Tube lines on an accurate map of the city to show the true locations of stations and lines.
The back of the map advertises places of interest to visit by Underground, such as landmarks, sports grounds, hotels, churches, concert halls, and railway stations. This is accompanied by charming illustrations, reflecting London Underground's desire to encourage leisure travel in the post-War years.
