Have you memorised it yet…? Along with all the rules to the Mornington Crescent game…?
(Don’t bother with the 1922 Rule set).
You won’t be allowed to reference a map while in London. It makes you look like a tourist.
It’s 2011, so very much out of date: won’t have the Northern Line’s Nine Elms extension or the Liz Line interchanges or the new Outer Circle line round the suburbs.
2011… this belong to a museum.
Nice piece of memorabilia, although probably better to get a phone app guide instead. Lots of changes since that was published
My dad used to use a black and white A-Z. The tube lines were different dotted lines. It was so old it showed the M25 as under construction. We bought him a new one maybe 15 years ago but he still has the old one.
I still have a paper map, my neurospicy brain likes tangible / paper reference rather than screens.
Show us the inside PLEASE
As a kid, my uncle gave me one of these and I used to sit there for hours reading it. I think that’s where my tube fascination comes from.
I bet this actually has the zones on it!
My grandma pulled out the 2002 map for a trip to london…
2011? A few years previous it was a copy of London A-Z that lived with you when out and about.
And a few copies sitting at home for good measure as folks you knew left London and discarded their own copy. I think I have 5 around the flat still.
Cool as shit. Get citymapper for your phone, but that’s a lovely thing to look at from time-to-time.
Get the city mapper app. It’s really good
In 2025 install the TFL Go widget (certainly for iPhone, assume there is one for Android too).
Gives you an up to date snapshot of any lines with a problem on your phone screen, and when clicking on it gives more info including a live map.
It’s the widget on the bottom, the top bit is there to prevent the Reddit app cropping the image .
