Thin Cities

Nils Norman

This fantasy map of the Piccadilly line has been designed by artist Nils Norman. It shows a series of unrealised and fantastical buildings and systems alongside other artists’ unrealised proposals for London.

You can download the map for free by following the link at the bottom of this page.
The map will appear on every carriage of every Piccadilly line tube train for 6 months across the summer of 2007, providing an alternative to the current maps where tourist destinations dominate the landscape.

Nils Norman has also been commissioned to make a new work for Piccadilly Circus. The piece takes the form of a mural transforming the landscape in the vicinity of the station.
