I've always wondered about this map. It looks very "precise" but is it
really?


Every time I've checked it, the result is the most accurate I've seen.

For example, a tube line runs under the Western side of Finsbury Park


There's a certain amount of artistic licence at places like Finsbury
Park station, where the various lines are spread out horizontally for
clarity.

(West of the reservoir) but neither the Victoria or Piccadilly lines
are shown so doing - so what's going on there?


Other maps I have confirm the Victoria Line shadowing the Piccadilly as
far as Manor House Station and then the Piccadilly heading north to
Turnpike Lane, under or adjacent to Green Lanes, and the Victoria Line
continuing under Seven Sisters Road.

Both are well east of the lake in the park, which would be a massive
diversion for either line.

the reservoir.

shows the Vic running east-west under the reservoir.

The very different portrayals of the line from Seven Sisters -
Northumberland Park Depot are surprising.

The ITO map is definitely more accurate in the Gibson Square area,
because there is a ventilation shaft there. The ITO map also shows the
Jubbly more accurately near Regents Park station, because there is also
a ventilation shaft there.
