At the behest of Gatz, am posting this again in its own thread.
It's absolutely brilliant.

Like the best things on the Interweb, it's a ridiculously simple, 'Why-Didn't-I-Think-Of-That' idea, beautifully executed. Hampstead Heath being a 'Hate Shamed Path' is a particular favourite.
Londoner or otherwise, what does your local anagrammised rail station say about your area? Can you come up with any better anagrams? Any other favourite examples of uniquely stylised tube maps?

Possibly even more appropriate
Mornington Crescent = Concerning Torments.
Here's an old favourite underground based site - http://www.animalsontheunderground.com/the_animals.html
The next station will be
Deploy Turd
Please mind the gap.....
Mind you, the previous stop was Lewdly and Nude Lads
Had I only realised when I lived there...
KENSAL RISE - Home of the SIRENS LAKE with its EARLESS KIN and many a SILKEN ARSE. Sadly I had to ERASE LINKS to it years ago.
Finsbury Park
was always Krapy Rubsnif to me, when I lived there.
I've always loved...
...'The Great Bear' by Simon Patterson - his personal take on the Tube map, where he replaces all the station names with historical and cultural figures.
It gets really clever when the lines intersect.

I've got that on my wall
Actually, no. it's wrapped in bubblewrap right now. But it'll be going back on my wall shortly. I'm somewhat obsessed with the tube map, indeed the tube full stop.
