There are various maps that claim to show the geographic routes of the tubes, as distinct from the Beck-style diagram, but none in my experience are completely accurate. Some of them are listed at http://owen.massey.net/tubemaps.html. For example, I have yet to see a map that shows the route of the Piccadilly Line east of South Kensington station with its two S-bends. The .pdf street maps displayed by the TfL Journey Planner are quite good if you want to check on a particular location. You need to combine a tube journey with a walking route or a bus journey in the area concerned. The best map I've found for showing the geographical routes of the tube lines is an NCP London Parking Guide map that I picked up free at the Motor Show a few years ago. An excerpt of the section north-east of South Kensington is at http://www.martinunderwood.f9.co.uk/SouthKen.jpg - this certainly shows one S bend between ALexander Road and Cromwell Road, and another very tight bend (although only a single bend) immediately east of South Kensington station. I didn't realise that map was still being updated. I have a 1956 version of the same map in Bartholomew's Central London Atlas-Guide. I notice that your version, like mine, still has "South Kensington Stas.", dating from the time when the Piccadilly station was separate from the District. Yes, it is quite good, though not completely accurate at South Ken. What route does it show for the Jubilee Line between Baker Street and Bond Street? It should show it passing under Park Square near Regents Park station. -- Richard J. (to e-mail me, swap uk and yon in address) |

The Jubilee line crosses under the west section of Park Crescent and just avoids the Square itself, whereas the Bakerloo line passes through Park Square and then down Portland Place: http://www.martinunderwood.f9.co.uk/Baker%20Street.jpg |

There is a Jubilee Line ventilation shaft in Park Square gardens, near the 'Q' of the word 'Square' printed on the garden (green) on your map, but I've no way of knowing whether it is directly over the tunnels. -- Richard J.
