This is a paper edition of the geographic style Underground map. It shows all the Underground Group railways plus the Metropolitan Railway. The map shows all lines in their entirety except the Metropolitan line which is shown as far as Preston Road, the Bakerloo and L&NWR line to North Wembley and the District line as far as South Harrow in the West and Bow Road in the East, stations beyond the boundaries of the map are indicated in boxes at the end of the lines. Only six colours, green, blue, red, brown, grey and black, and various shading patterns, are used to represent the different lines. Connections to motor bus and tram services are given in a text box which points to the relevant Underground station. Interchanges are marked by circles and station names are all printed in black. There are no geographical features shown on this map. Extensions which are under construction are not shown, however the name of Notting Hill Station has been changed to Ladbroke Grove & North Kensington. This map has a black decorative border with the Underground logo as the title and a reference key at the bottom of the map. On the reverse there are details about main line connections, first and last trains, docks, markets, art galleries, academies, museums, public buildings, institutions, concert halls, parks, sports grounds, a street plan of the City and Kensington and a theatre plan and key.
