This edition of the Beck diagram shows changes to the colour of some lines. The Central London line is drawn in red instead of orange, the Northern City line is now black, the Bakerloo line has changed from red to brown and the East London Line has become part of the Metropolitan line. The Piccadilly line service is shown extending to Uxbridge. Changes in the names of lines and stations are also shown on this edition of the map, the Edgware, Highgate & Morden line is refered to as the Morden - Edgware line, the Great Northern & City Line has become the Northern City Line and Enfield West is now refered to as Enfield West (Oakwood). On the reverse of the map are listed Places of Interest & Theatres and the front cover has a decorative border. The map includes the "Middle Circle", an underground train line using the West London Railway between Latimer Road and Earls Court, passing through Uxbridge Road and Addison Road. The line closed in 1940 following bomb damage. It was not reopened until 2008 as part of the Overground network.
