There used to be (a huge) close to geographically correct map called
Multi-Modal Map or something like that on the TfL website but I cannot
find it there anymore.


Here's a copy, though 'cache' could mean it won't stay long:

That is the one. Thanks very much!




But this definitely makes no attempt to show the geographical routes
of the lines, merely the locations of the stations. This is what it
ought to do in terms of helping the passengers, but for those of us
obsessed with routes of lines, as I said somewhere, it is worse than a
diagram because of the implied geographical accuracy.

Actually, not even the locations of the stations. I focus immediately
on Trafalgar Square, where there is no indication of a Bakerloo
entrance, let alone station.
