I'm somewhat surprised this hasn't been mentioned to date. Unless it has?

Installed a couple of days ago at various stations there are now five Lego Tube Maps at London Underground stations. They show the system at various stages in it's development: 1927, 1933, 1968, 2013 and, most intriguingly, 2020.

Here's a BBC News item about the maps

I popped to visit all of the maps yesterday and one thing I found amusing was the number of people who were looking at them trying to get directions from them. I had a hard time explaining to a Spanish-speaking gentleman that the map he was studying was the system from 1968:

Also the 2020 map has no large sign to indicate that that's what it is:

Anyhow I took some close-ups so people could see how they were done:
