Inside Out Tube Map

The Tube map doesn't aim to depict the positions of stations with perfect geographical accuracy, instead focusing on the way the stations are connected. So what if this was taken to the extreme, and the Tube map was drawn inside out?

After making two maps which involved a lot of technical detail (looking at how the Tube map might look in the future, and unearthing proposals for the Tube which never came to fruition), I wanted to make something a lot more lighthearted.

If you're looking for something even weirder, you should definitely check out this map from Francisco Dans, which works on similar principles to the Inside Out map but distorts the geography to an even greater extent.

Since both maps preserve the relative positions of stations along each line and the locations at which the lines connect to each other, they could technically be used to navigate the London Underground the same as the normal map – not that I would recommend it.
