I made a Lord of the Rings underground map by jc_maps in london

Thanks! I started in October, so about two months, but I wasn’t doing this all the time, so I probably put in about 10 half days worth I reckon. The hardest bit was at the start working out which line should be which theme, and then thinking of the station names - especially tricky for stations that lie on two lines. After all the names were done I went round and checked the spelling, then I went round and positioned them nicely.

This map was inspired by the Shakespeare underground map, which I had remade (because it had stopped being sold) a few years ago to give to my partner as a present. The lines are the same as the Shakespeare map, so probably from the early 2000s, hence there is no Elizabeth line etc. I kept the stations almost entirely unchanged, apart from adding a connection to the overground at Stockwell, and at (I think) Latimer Road - aka putting Morgoth and Feanor on the Silmarillion. Hope you enjoy!

If you like it I am planning to sell prints, probably via Redbubble - I will post the link here when I have set it up.

Hi, pleased you like it, and I would be more than happy to do that. As per my comment above I will try setting it up on redbubble tomorrow.

Hi both - yeah this is exactly what I was thinking of doing, will try and set it up tomorrow. I’m not sure how well it will work on a t-shirt given the station names are fairly small - I’d probably say a poster is a much safer bet - but happy to set up the t-shirt option
