Reblogged because of the inclusion of the London Underground Diagram, but the other stamps are also representative of the best of British design and are worth a look as well.

In a way, it’s more than a little disappointing that the Tube Map shown is the modern TfL version, and not Beck’s original from 1933, especially as everything else reflects the “classic” original version of the product. It’s the same as if they’d decided to use a photo of a modern Mini instead – a fine car, but not the same as the original.
