I tried to capture Munich's style as perfectly as possible, and I think I succeeded. A few notes:

- This is not a reskin of the official map. I tried to handle a lot of things better, for example the eastern area around London City Airport.

- S Trains are overground lines, D are light railway (DLR) and U are underground lines. Thameslink I renamed into Regional Thameslink to better fit Munich's style.

- Oyster has been renamed ThamesCard by analogue with IsarCard.

- Some lines have been split as Munich doesn't have London's egregious constant splitting of the same line. This means that some services aren't accurate to their real-life versions (DLR for example) but a lot easier to understand.

- Some stations are changed to better reflect their geographical position, such as bringing them closer together to show scale better.

- Lines that cross the Thames are shown over it or under it depending on the method, as is the case in Munich.

- The map was done in Inkscape over multiple weeks.

- Zones have not been adapted at all, so it's really funny how much more cohesive they look as compared to the official Tube Map.

Maybe a controversial opinion, but I don't think the official Tube Map is good in a designer sense. It has a lot of information (like accessibility information which I left out here), but it just doesn't look good (especially the zones!) and sometimes distorts the geographical reality much more than necessary. I'm not a designer and my map doesn't look much worse than theirs by most metrics. And it looks exactly like Munich's official diagram!
