Ah, excellent. I'd read about this exhibition elsewhere, but I'll take this as the DG seal of approval. Plus I've not been to Southend before. |

*wonders about the admission capacity on Saturday*
Perhaps there should be a secret signal for DG readers to identify themselves to others? ;) |

The history of the tube map is indeed fascinating, particularly when you think how simple the idea of a diagrammatic tube map is and how it has made our lives easier here in London, and in other cities around the world.
I can't help thinking, however, whether it's strictly necessary to have the Overground, Crossrail or even the DLR on the map. Surely we can preserve its simplicity by just using it to represent tube lines, and having all the additional lines on the London Connections map instead? |

Perhaps TfL should commission a series of designer-styled alternatives alongside the Art Nouveau and CR Mackintosh examples, to sell for people who want something a bit different. Pugin Gothic, Art Deco, Pop Art, a Bridget Riley style version, or a special jewel-encrusted Damien Hirst version maybe? Not, perhaps, Chris Ofili (there's only so much elephant dung to go round). |

I'm sorry to have to ask this, but, does Max's 'curvy map' have any boobs? |

Isn't that a nipple at Mile End? |

Blue witch needn't worry - I was there (admittedly early) on Saturday and there was nobody else there. |

We had 30 people in total on Saturday, quite a good number. Thanks to everyone who attended. The next scheduled exhibition will be at the Minories art gallery in Colchester, September 2010. |
