Mr Beck's Underground Map

By Ken Garland

This history of the original Underground diagram as designed by Henry (Harry) Beck is written by someone who was a close friend of Beck’s. It covers the story of the map from its original design in 1931 up to its replacement by another hand in 1960 and the attempts by Beck that followed to get back the design work. It is the story of what became an obsession and of the man who gave us the map that still shows us the way on the Underground today.
