London - if the Tube map were upside down
Makes its point, I think.

Someone obviously has plenty of spare time on their hands... :o)
Another person with spare time has literally, in fact very literally translated the Berlin RapTrans Map into English..

I think my favourite station names here are Bristly Works and Drinkings Mountain, as well as Crapbussing!! or perhaps Charleys' Thicket!

Interesting exercise. This gives the place a very different feel. If one were to do this round Europe I wonder what, if anything, one could deduce about places.

I love the translation of place names into English
I think it is Madrid where you hear 'Proxima estacion, Esperanza'. Next station: Hope.
(also the name of a Manu Chao album, so I wasn't the only one pleased by this)
I always liked the thought of getting off 'under the limes' in Berlin. I notice there is one called Conpunching. Maybe not a good destination for Boris should he visit?

Now if they'd just build a branch line with 'Proxima estacion, Primavera' that'd be really hopeful.

Looks like something one of the teenage boys I used to teach might knock up at the back of class on a Friday afternoon for the amusement of his pals. They are the only people who might find lesbian a 'rude' word. (@james)

I think the creator got the label right. It would have shocked my granny.

Well actually, James, I think people need to be warned that the use of lesbian as a 'rude' word is not the worst of it and some people might be offended by the creators idea of what is 'funny'. I mean, have you read all of the 'renames'?
Let's just say that its certainly NSFW

I didn't read it all. I spent 30 seconds on it at most.
The first few that caught my eye convinced me that this was pretty schoolboy humour, and then I spotted a few that were actually quite offensive and not remotely funny. I was guessing you didn't read them all or perhaps you have and we just don't share the same sense of humour.
If you like it, fine, but I wouldn't want anyone to click through to it without some kind of warning that it may offend them.
Just standard protocol on the internet, James , to warn people that a link contains bad language and may cause offence. -

Thank you James but don't you think telling someone three times to lighten up is verging on the 'rude' itself. You'll be telling me to 'get a life' next I suspect.

as a feather, old chap, as a feather.
Not sure why you can't see how light and airy I feel as a result of your extortions to er... 'lighten up' - you should bottle it James, it's miraculous.

James, you're becoming a bit of a pain. No, it wasn't funny and certainly not up to your usual standards. I know public toilet walls are pretty scarce in Harringay, nevertheless . . . . .
