To celebrate 150 years of the London Underground, five tubes maps representing current, historic (starting in 1927) and future maps (for the year 2020) of the underground have been constructed from Lego bricks and unveiled earlier this summer at King's Cross station.
The 2020 map is located at King's Cross, but the other four can be seen at other tube stations: South Kensington (1927), Piccadilly Circus (1933), Green Park (1968), and Stratford (current). Visitors to one of these stations can also pick up a leaflet on how to create their own London Underground logo out of Lego bricks.

Each tube map is made up of over 1,000 Lego bricks. They were created by Duncan Titmarch and unveiled by him and his son in June.

After the summer, the tube maps will be taken to the London Transport Museum and displayed.
