St. Johns Wood. 1939

LONDON UNDERGROUND – St. Johns Wood. London: Stanford's, [1939].



Area around Lord's Cricket Ground depicted in a striking design, and including a portion of Regent's Park and Primrose Hill. The map shows two different London Underground stations. The map is centred on the station called St. Johns Wood, which opened on 20 November 1939, and served the Stanmore branch of the Bakerloo line, nowadays the Jubilee Line. To the south, another tube station named Lord's is depicted at the junction of Wellington Road and St Johns' Wood Road. This was originally the Metropolitan Line station for Lord's Cricket Ground, but was closed on 19 November 1939. The map's serial number seems to indicate a publication date of March 1939, hence both stations are shown; the serial number also seems to indicate that only 100 copies were printed.



Large chromolithographic poster with circular map of the area around St. Johns Wood Station, the name of the station prominently displayed in the London Transport 'bar and circle' roundel beneath the map with a vertical arrow pointing directly to the main station entrance, entrance to Lord's Station indicated by red dot, printed in 4 colours, 10mm red border surround, scale of 1:3032 at bottom of map, double royal 1005 x 620mm, laid on linen.
