What was your inspiration?

The intricacy of the London underground fascinates me as well as the city.

What advice would you give someone starting this project?

Go crazy with the colors, I added a picture with the pattern for all the London transportation color combination :)

This made me smile as I'm sitting here killing time until I catch a train to London in about an hour's time. Thereafter I have to travel on the Tube across London between stations (Liverpool Street to Paddington) to get to Penzance in Cornwall by tonight! I'm a bit worried about the Tube journey as London is very crowded at present because of the Olympics, but I hope seeing your block is a good omen and there won't be any delays! Incidentally, I really like the block!

Thank you! I got a t-shirt with "Mind The Gap" printed on it while I was there, that's what got me thinking about making this block. I can only imagine how bad it must be now during the Olympics. I do hope that my block was a good omen for you and you made it safely to Cornwall and recovering from the journey :)
