Worrying - damned pinko stamp buyers.

Interesting - alternate-history tube map of london.

Looks like someone's just spun a regular tube map through 180 degrees, and renamed all the stations roughly relative to where they'd now be if the rotation was centred on the midpoint of the Thames.

So, for instance; Elephant & Castle becomes Victoria, Brixton becomes Oxford Circus and Balham becomes Angel; and conversely, Victoria becomes Lambeth North, Oxford Circus becomes Walworth and Angel becomes Streatham.

What makes it particularly well done is the addition of extra stations with appropriate names for what would be their surrounds, even between 'real' tube stations - such as Buckingham Palace between Green Park and Victoria, or Greenwich (Observatory) just south of Greenwich - mirroring Kensington (Olympia).

but the river...

...is upside down as well, so it's clearly not that well done
