A new version of the central London section of the iconic Tube map, which replaces the names of stations with Team GB's medal winning athletes, has gone on sale to celebrate the fantastic success of Team GB in the London 2012 Olympic Games.
The limited edition map, created by sports journalists Alex Trickett and David Brooks, highlights the achievements of all the 114 athletes and 12 horses who contributed to Team GB's medal haul.
Each line on the map is devoted to a sporting discipline. For example, stations on the Bakerloo line have been renamed after Athletics medallists, with Piccadilly Circus station named after Mo Farah and Marylebone station named after Jessica Ennis.
Stratford station, as the gateway to the Olympic Park, is renamed after Sir Chris Hoy, the most successful British Olympian of all time.
Appropriately, Wimbledon station is named after Andy Murray, and Zara Phillips replaces Royal Victoria, the station dedicated to her great, great, great, great, grandmother, Queen Victoria.
The map highlights London 2012 gold medallists, 'star' Olympians who have won four or more medals in their careers, and also those who are siblings of other Olympic medallists.
