Design Classics: The London Underground Map
Added to Miscellaneous documentaries 2 years ago

Documentary about the London Underground Map, the epitomy of London Transport’s modernist design, which showed relative positions of stations along the lines rather than exact geographical locations, to produce a highly usable schematic diagram that has hardly changed since its introduction.
Created in 1931 by Underground employee Henry Beck, the graphically revolutionary map has become an icon of both London and British design.
