“A street map showing fifteen selected Bus Routes which take you to all the places of interest in central London – together with an index and grid” This map has the same dimensions as the pocket-size Underground diagram. The map, titled VISITOR’S BUS ROUTES, is a slightly smaller version of the one later used in the WELCOME maps, covers the area from Notting Hill to Aldgate and Islington to Battersea, and shows routes 2, 3, 6, 8, 9, 11, 14, 22, 24, 25, 38, 73, 74, 77 and 109, each in their own colour and line-type. The index on the back lists 73 places of interest, and their location on the map. |
