The first topographical style (rather than the traditional geographical style) was designed by Harry Beck in 1931.

Although a lot of people assumed that the design was inspired by electrical engineering drawings and plans, Beck actually took his inspiration from an underground water mapping system.

There has been recent uproar due to the unauthorised (by the Mayor of London - Boris Johnson) of both the Rover Thames and the Zonal Charging areas - both are to be restored imminently!
