Transport for London (TfL) has produced a special map, based on the tube map .

Is that "special" as in "special school"?

Andrew Adonis, Minister for London Schools, unveiled the map at a celebratory event on 11 January attended by some of the students and teachers featured on it.

Lord Adonis, however, was ineligible to appear on the map. He was educated at Kingham Hill School (IND, SEL, mixed) and Keble College, Oxford. I suppose we can commend the London Borough of Camden's Social Services Department for making such an enlightened decision for young Andy, and only wonder if his government would allow them to repeat this act of social responsibility.

Maybe this sort of thing can be parodied (and put an end to once and for all) by putting criminals on the map near their home stations. Cray Twins, Jack the Ripper, Denis Nielsen, Jonathan Aitken, Dame Shirly Porter, Ted Knight, endless fun for everyone seeing just how much low life London has been responsible for over the years.

Quite a fun idea... here are 28 stations:

Bank BCCI
Bethnal Green Kray Twins
Camden Town Anthony Hardy
Canary Wharf Paul Reichman
Earl's Court Colin Ireland
Edgware Road (Bakerloo Line) John Lloyd
Edgware Road (sub-surface lines) George Smith
Fulham Broadway Michael Lupo
Hammersmith (District & Piccadilly Lines) Jack the Stripper
Hammersmith (Hammersmith & City Line) Jack the Stripper
Heron Quays Robert Maxwell
Highgate Dennis Nilsen
Hyde Park Corner Dame Shirley Porter
Kennington Thomas Cream
Knightsbridge Mohamed Fayed
Ladbroke Grove John Christie
Lambeth North Ted Knight
Limehouse Gregor MacGregor
London Bridge Ken Livingstone
Neasden Graham Young
Sloane Square Abu Nidal
South Kensington John Haigh
Stepney Green George Chapman
Stockwell Kenneth Erskine
Tottenham Court Road Robert Mawdsley
Wapping Rupert Murdoch
Westminster Jonathan Aitken
Whitechapel Jack the Ripper

Any ideas for the other 280 or so?
