The NLA has recently acquired several art-meets-cartography variants on
the London tube map, availabe at the London Transport Museum shop
http://www.ltmuseumshop.co.uk/LTM/Posters/Maps.html

including an Underground film map and a Music on the Tube map, and the
famous 1986 "Tate Gallery by Tube" poster.

The Music on the underground map is our Jan 2011 "Map of the Month" in
our window display, and I found this article by the artist describing
the creation of the map.
