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.
http://www.railmaponline.com/UKIEMap.php shows the Vic passing west of
the reservoir.
I'm a bit suspicious of that map because it shows the GN line north of
Old Street under East Road, when we know it's to the west on account of
that auger incident (actual alignment p17):

It's also a bit bizarre at Regents Park station, and in convergence with
another thread has Barbican tube station in the wrong place.

idebar=clickthrough_wrapper shows the Vic running east-west under the
reservoir.
It's shown neither under the lake in the park nor under the East/West
reservoirs. But the route just to the south of the lake in the park is
definitely the same as most other maps show.
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.
It also makes an attempt at the alignment north of Old Street.
