Shoppers will be spoilt for choice this Yuletide with a wide range of new gifts which are exclusive to the London Transport Museum shop in Covent Garden and online.
Sewing enthusiasts can get stitching Harry Beck’s 1933 Underground map (£50) with a beautiful embroidery set that contains a fabric print (29cm X 36cm) of his imaginative and beautifully simple design.
Rather than emphasising distance and geographical accuracy Beck stripped down the sprawling network into a neat diagram of coloured criss-crossed lines.
The result is a clear chart that has since become an essential guide to London.
