Redesign: The London Underground map (Picture: Reddit / Chris Evans)

London’s iconic Tube map has been given a video game makeover by one imaginative internet user- Super Mario style.

The redesign of the capital’s network of London Underground tunnels running beneath central London was created by Reddit user Chris Evans.

Covering zone 1 of the capital’s tube network, the map features graphics used in 1988 cult classic video game Super Mario Bros 3, including pipes and castles.

Tanooki Suit Mario and Luigi even make an appearance on the artwork which has been viewed thousands of time online.

Bowser’s Koopa Troop villains The Hammer Bros. have also been drafted in, presumably to help with the ongoing engineering works currently affecting journeys across London.



Mr Evans was inspired by a similar Super Mario map which recreates the famous Washington DC Metro Line.

Earlier this year, another creative issued a redesign of the London Underground map based on concentric circles, after claiming the official map was becoming too cluttered.

Meanwhile in February, the ‘tunnelling marathon’ taking place beneath London in preparation for the Crossrail link was revealed.
