Not before time! His map has become London (sorry if you live south of the Thames, blame the Edwardian tube promoters)

A week late. I just found that Harry Beck is to be celebrated by a blue plaque at his birthplace in Leyton to celebrate the tube map. www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-london-21918399Edited by Londonstuff: Melikepie's thread merged with this one, which was already in existence. |

It's good to see him honoured.
When the only way people will remember things such as iphones, etc. as retro curiosities, there will still be many millions around the world still using maps and diagrams based on his designs and ideas
