description: This account of Harry Beck's London Tube map a companion to its predecessor Mr Beck's Underground Map charts the evolution of the famous journey planner from the 1950s to the present day. With colour reproductions and insightful commentary it navigates a wealth of surprising changes to Beck's original including new symbols lines and zones; the ill-fated inclusion of parks and rivers; and some bizarre attempts at 'modernization' which luckily never caught on.
