Sub-surface railways
This map shows the Metropolitan Railway at its fullest extent, from Baker Street to Verney Junction and Brill, deep in rural Buckinghamshire. For many years it hung in the Depot Engineer's office at Neasden. It is thought, however, originally to have been on public display at an important station such as Baker Street.

This three-dimensional relief map shows the original full route of the Metropolitan Railway from Baker Street to Verney Junction and Brill in rural Buckinghamshire. For many years it hung in the depot Engineer's office at Neasden. It was probably originally on display at an important Metropolitan station such as Baker Street.
The Metropolitan Railway coined the word 'Metro-Land' for the new suburban and rural areas that the railway travelled through.
