Woefully inaccurate (and what's happened to King's Cross?), but still a
cute idea.

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

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? 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.

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

Nice to see Camberwell and Denmark Hill making an appearance!

Mission Impossible, perhaps.

Kew Gardens is called Greenwich, one of at least 4 stations to have that
name! (Though the film reference - The Madness of King George - is
correct for that location, as he lived in Kew Palace.

Oh, and Harrow & Wealdstone is identified as Stevenage.

The worst omission is Aldwych. That MUST have had more films made there than
any other station.

I'm guessing the locations are where the films were set, rather than
filmed, although that does make Full Metal Jacket a bit of an anomaly.

And i suspect a tube map with both Southwark and Aldwych would be tricky
to find!

I'd completely failed to notice that!

Where the hell did they get this map from? They might just have added that
spur to fit the generic south east London sites in, i suppose.

Still, i'm quite freaked out now.
