This is a paper edition of the geographic style Underground map. It shows all the Underground Group railways plus the Metropolitan Railway. The map shows all lines in their entirety except the Metropolitan line which is shown as far as Harrow, the Bakerloo and L&NWR line to Harrow & Wealdstone and the District line as far as South Harrow in the West and West Ham in the East, stations beyond the boundaries of the map are indicated in boxes at the end of the lines.

Connections to motor bus and tram services are given in a text box which points to the relevant Underground station. Interchanges are marked by circles and white line interconnectors and station names are all printed in black. There are no geographical features shown on this map. Railways under construction are represented as dotted lines as used on the Hampstead & Highgate line between Euston and Camden Town and the extension from Golders Green to Edgware. The Metropolitan Railway is coloured purple instead of grey on this map and the Great Northern & City Section is shown as a separate line with a broken purple coloured line. This map has a brown decorative border with the Underground roundel and title in the top right hand corner. There is also a reference key and information on tickets at the bottom of the map. The three stations for access to the British Empire Exhibition at Wembley are indicated with large red dots. On the reverse there is a diagram showing main line connections and a theatre plan
