Oskar Karlin reworked the infamous London Underground map using the time it takes to travel between stations rather than the distance.
Underground type
A Typeface for the Underground takes an in-depth look at the history of the Johnston typeface used by Transport for London. You might also be interested in Ken Garland’s book, Mr Beck’s Underground map, detailing the history of a design icon.

Photos of London shop fronts. There’s just a unique vibe to store fronts in UK, there’s always something to look at.
Beck and Paris
Ken Garland’s lectures at Reading were some of my favourites during the time I spent there, particularly his passion for Harry Beck and the London Underground. I don’t really remember him mentioning Beck’s connection to the Paris Metro, probably because there was only limited class time.
Abandoned London
Abandoned London features Christmas day photographs of England’s largest city. Having walked around most of these places, I have to admit that it’s a little eerie seeing them with so few people.
