Lego on the Underground

 
9 January 2014

London Underground is celebrating its 150th anniversary this year, and Lego has marked the occasion by recreating five Tube Maps made entirely out of Lego bricks that will be displayed in major London Underground stations throughout the summer months.

The five Lego Tube maps show how the network has evolved over the years starting from 1933 through to the future, 2020. From 12 June, these Lego maps will be displayed in ticket halls of major London Underground stations. You can check them out at:

  • South Kensington - 1927
  • Piccadilly Circus - 1933, Harry Beck’s original map
  • Green Park - 1968                                    
  • Stratford - 2013                                     
  • King’s Cross - 2020, including Crossrail, the proposed Croxley Rail Link and the proposed Northern Line Extension

Lego Tube Map – the vital statistics

  • Each map is made up of over 1,000 Lego bricks
  • The Lego Tube maps measure 140cm x 100cm
  • Each map took four days to build
  • Created by Duncan Titmarsh, the UK’s only Certified Lego professional – there are only 13 in the world!

You can also  build your own London Underground logo out of Lego bricks. To find out how pick up a leaflet at these stations for details or go online to www.tfl.gov.uk/tube150
