This is a paper edition of the geographic style Underground map. It shows all the Underground Group railways plus the Metropolitan Railway. All Underground lines are marked in red and the LNER line to the British Empire Exhibition at Wembley is marked with a thick grey line. Stations which are not covered within the boundary of the map are indicated by text boxes at the end of each line. Motor Bus and Tram routes are represented by thin red lines (tram lines are dashed), with the route number marked. Text boxes indicate the continuation of bus and tram lines beyond the border of the map. Geographical features such as roads, parks and rivers are shown in grey. Interchanges are marked by black circles with red crosses, but white line interconnectors are not used, station names are all printed in black. Railways under construction are represented as dotted lines, as used on the Hampstead & Highgate line between Charing Cross and Kennington, on the City & South London Railway extension to Morden, and the Hampstead and Highgate line extension to Edgware (Colindale Station opened August 1924). This map also marks the proposed joint extension of the Central London Railway and the LSWR between Shepherds Bush and Ravenscourt Park. City Road Station is no longer shown after its closure. South Kentish Town station is shown prior to its closure in June 1924. On the City & South London Railway (now Northern Line) under construction to Morden, the station south of Clapham Common - opened as Clapham South - is named as Nightingale Lane.
