London Underground Tube Map
Tube map is the commonly-used name for the schematic diagram that represents the lines, stations, and zones of London's rapid transit rail system, the London Underground.
A schematic diagram rather than a map, it represents not geography but relations. It considerably distorts the actual relative positions of stations, but accurately represents their sequential and connective relations with each other along the various lines of the system and their placement within fare zones. The basic design concepts, especially that of mapping topologically rather than geographically, have been widely adopted for other route maps around the world.
