The famous, traditional London Tube map has only a tenuous link to actual geography. For example, Paddington, Bayswater and Notting Hill Gate are shown running down the map as if they went from north to south. They in fact go from east to west along the top of Hyde Park.
For anyone trying to decipher this sort of thing I have found this nifty Tube Journey Planner that overlays the tube stations on Google Maps.
Nice Map.
The most entertaining case of confusion caused by the stylised map I have seen is when a friend caught the tube from Bayswater to Queensway, going via Notting Hill Gate, only to get out at Queensway, look and see the tube station was a 3 minute walk away :).
