Ah, the Quality Street box of chocolates and toffees – a perennial Christmas gift from grandparents throughout the UK, Australia and elsewhere. Their brightly coloured wrappers lend themselves well to this little project: a recreation of the London Tube map made from individual chocolates laid end to end. 

Yes, it’s all a silly bit of festive fun, but there is actually some insight into the current state of the map when they’re laying out the Overground (at around 1:38). “There’s way too many Overground lines here,” says one team member, “A real mish-mash in East London; it’s all gone horribly wrong.” A fairly accurate summation of things, I think.
