The surprisingly compatible fandoms of Lego, cartography and the Tube have come together for a series of maps charting the evolution of the London Underground.

Five Tube maps made entirely out of Lego have been installed across the transport network today, as part of a belated celebration of the 150th anniversary of the London Underground.

Each made from 1,000 bricks, the maps mark progress of the Tube from 1927 to the present day and beyond to what the underground will look like in 2020.

If you want to see the maps for yourself, they are on public display at South Kensington, Piccadilly Circus, Green Park, Stratford and King’s Cross.
