When I saw this game to see how many London Tube stops you could name from memory I had to give it a go.
It’s been over 10 years since I lived in London for my postgraduate degree.
I only remembered 14% of stations, but it was a fun reminder of how much I love the London Underground and how much more there is to know about it. I have a wonderful book I bought years ago and have never read.
It particularly bothered me that I couldn’t remember the Tube stop for Sutton House where I went each week for my placement / internship. (It was Hackney Central not Hackney.)
I’ll have to pull down my book about Tube design and see where it leads. I really love the design of the London Underground maps and the simple color coded system (versus the horrible numbers on the New York Subway.)
Maybe I’ll also order this book about the seat fabric design. I was fascinated by the design identity of each line during my time as a Londoner and took so many photos of seats and Tube stations.
(This cover looks wild because it’s the seats for several lines combined. Each like would have matching seats of a certain color. You could pop into existence on the Tube and know exactly where you were by the seat covering and my autistic heart really loves that.)
