Preview: The Map House’s upcoming exhibition on the cartographic art of the Tube

Harry Beck’s First Edition Double-Crown Tube Map, Harry Beck, August 1933.

This new exhibition at The Map House in London’s Knightsbridge focuses on the capital’s underground railway, the world’s first. ‘Mapping the Tube: 1863-2023’ (on view 25 October – 30 November 2024) chronicles 160 years of making cartographical sense of the tangle of lines, stations and interchanges that have been hollowed out of London’s clay, clawing their way to the surface and reaching deep into the capital’s suburbs, north, south, east and west.
