plasticbag : My Society put up some beautiful travel heatmaps a while back that I wanted to talk about but haven't had time - One thing I'd suggest is to overlay maps where the starting location is different (either each major city or tube stop, or at the end of each square half mile). That should give you a sense of which areas in London are best and worst connected...

plasticbag : Guardian Review of "The Subterranean Railway" by Christian Wolmar - Thanks to the 2lmc-ers for mentioning this. Key quote: "This new book is an entry-level history of the Underground, and it becomes clear from reading it that the faults of the system were built into it from the moment the first sod was turned."
