Where can I get a tube map where you can see all the bends and turns?

Yes, but it would be easier for you to put a tube map in your own
washing machine.

Be aware, though, Zingo, that this and most (all?) other similar maps
available tend to link the correctly positioned station marks with "a
curve", regardless of the actual shape the tracks take. A good
example here is Ealing Broadway, where the District should run north a
bit before joining the Piccadilly route and *then* crossing the
Central line and diving south to Ealing Common.

For the surface bits, overlaying the OS map on Multimap may give the
detail you want (depending on level of accuracy required).

Silly thought perhaps, but the (free) TFL London bus maps are
geographic & incorporate London's passenger railway network.

You'd need all 5 maps, & they are quite large when unfolded, but all
the info you'd need is there.

This is a good website to show some early underground maps.

Yes, that's a good example. Another in the same area is the way that
Chiswick Park station is shown as being some distrance south of the
Piccadilly Line, whereas the Picc tracks are actually between the
District tracks all the way from Barons Court to Acton Town.
