This is brilliant for old timers and tourists alike. For tourists it shows the tube map in geographical relation to main streets in Central London (something the real tube map never does). For old timers it shows you which carriage to sit in to be the nearest to the exit - therefore you can save that vital few seconds if you're running late. Top idea!

I'm very impressed with this - it's a great idea.
Unfortunately a couple of sections of the Underground do not have the details to accompany them - the entire East London line and the Jubilee line east of Bermondsey. There are a couple of innaccuracies (where it recommends the wrong carriage) and it is slightly out-of-date in some of it's information, but it's still a useful starting point - you can fine tune your positioning with practice!
It's nice and small, when using it on the underground, and it will save you lots of time, especially during the rush hours when I'm sure you'd rather not be stuck behind two hundred other commuters all trying to use the same escalator at the same time.
Recommended for anyone who uses the underground on a regular basis.

Fantastic product: great handy size, easy to carry around; accurate in almost every case. One of those things that seems good at first but once you start using it gets even better.
Only drawback would be one or two things either inaccurate or out of date but these aren't a problem. You're certainly not worse off for these than if you didn't have it with you at all.

I will never get on the tube without it!
An excellent product, it's easy to use and has some very handy hints. There are a few mistakes that I have found, and the DLR and Overground aren't covered, but as I don't use them... Read more

Brilliant
If you use the tube a lot, this is a great little map. Saves a lot of time at busy stations.

Very clever
This is a very clever and useful map that should be a well kept secret. If everyone had access to this information the preferred carriages would be nighmarishly busy!! Read more

Very useful small map. Its in need of a revision for some stations, but has proven very handy when using the Tube.
