Hope everyone had a great Christmas and New Year’s break. Now back in London after \"Art my holidays, I need to get used to re-adjust and get used to experiencing certain aspects of this city that I had not used or forgotten about during my break.

Many artists have wanted to contribute with their own version<\/strong>. In fact, there even is a\u00a0Tube Map Preservation Society and a\u00a0Tube map challenge<\/a>!<\/p>\n
