Notes

As a war-time austerity measure, the Underground diagram was reduced to a monochrome drawing. Two colour printing was used, however, with the page border, the River Thames and the main-line railway termini in blue ink. The Northern and Central line extensions are still shown, although no mention is made of them on the back, which reverted to the 1939 street maps.
