Kings Cross = Mona Lisa, or do you mean what happened to it as in what
happened to the white bits of the circles?


I did.

Snatch and The Crying Game could do with being swapped. And what's with
Stepney Green, is it actually the name of a movie, or did they
accidentally leave it in?


Unless they were referring to:

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0299962/

I think it must be a mistake.

There doesn't seem to be a link associated with it. Full Metal Jacket
seems to be on the wrong side of the river for its description too.


Not to mention About A Boy being better off at Barbican or Farringdon.

TfL have their own ideas about movie locations:

I'm sure I've seen Liverpool Street in a couple of movies, they must be
able to find something for that.



Mission Impossible



And of course, Shooting Fish is Mill Hill East.

I would have thought this would be more accurate with a London
Connections map, rather than limited to tube/DLR.

LUL published one in 1994. It can be seen on p63 of Mr Beck's Underground

That map was never published. It was produced for internal use only, as
the basis for incorporating the extensions and new lines then envisaged,
e.g. JLE, ELLE, Crossrail, Chelsea-Hackney.

It was published in the book. The OP simply suggested that it would be
difficult to find a tube map with both Southwark and Aldwych on it. Nothing
about it being made available free of charge, on every LUL station!

Fair enough, but the book is published by Capital Transport Publishing,
not LUL as you had claimed.

Fair point. Consider my earlier article amended to read as follows...

"LUL produced one in 1994. They allowed it to be published on p63 of Mr
Beck's Underground Map"

You'll have to try harder than that, Tom! Peckham Rye is also on the
map on p.63 of Mr Beck's Underground Map (on the ELL extension).
