You cant redesign the tube map; its embedded in many minds and most people know it as the logical map of London.

Even the London Connections map is based on it.

The tube map has been redesigned dozens of times. Here's a good book on the history of the map: http://www.amazon.com/Mr-Becks-Underground-Map-History/dp/18...

Yes I know but they are far from radical redesigns in the last 20-30 years. I have a 1985 London Connections map (from my first tube journey!) and it's virtually no different to the current one. Just additions and a couple of removals of rail routes and Heathrow, Jubillee extension and DLR etc.
