The Tube map is a schematic transport map of the lines, stations and services of the London Underground, known colloquially as the Tube, hence the map's name. The first schematic Tube map was designed by Harry Beck in 1931. Since then, it has been expanded to include more of London's public transport systems, including the Docklands Light Railway, London Overground, TfL Rail, Tramlink and the Emirates Air Line cable car. As a schematic diagram, it does not show the geographic locations but rather the relative positions of the stations, lines, the stations' connective relations, and fare zones. The basic design concepts have been widely adopted for other such maps around the world, and for maps of other sorts of transport networks and even conceptual schematics.A regularly updated version o...

In the following century, King William III's massive rebuilding and expansion work, which was intended to rival Versailles, destroyed much of the Tudor palace.

Places to see in ( Rickmansworth - UK )

Rickmansworth is a small town in south-west Hertfordshire, England, situated approximately 20 miles northwest of central London and inside the perimeter of the M25 motorway. The town is mainly to the north of the Grand Union Canal (formerly the Grand Junction Canal) and the River Colne. The nearest large town is Watford, approximately 5 miles (8.0 km) to the east. Rickmansworth is the administrative seat of the Three Rivers District Council; the local authority is named from the confluence of three rivers within Rickmansworth's borders; the River Gade and the Grand Union Canal join the upper River Colne near Rickmansworth's eastern boundary and are joined by the River Chess near the town centre from where the enlarged Colne flows south to form a major tributary of the River Thames. The town is served by the Metropolitan line of the London Underground and Chiltern Railways from London Marylebone to Aylesbury.

Rickmansworth grew dramatically during the Victorian era and in the 1920s and 1930s as part of Metro-land, due to the extension of Metropolitan Railway, and became a commuter town. Diesel-express trains from Marylebone station, London – via Harrow-on-the Hill – to Aylesbury and fast, electric Metropolitan trains from the City of London – via Baker Street – to Amersham stop at Rickmansworth station on the London to Aylesbury Line. Junctions 17 and 18 of the M25 motorway are within Rickmansworth's boundaries giving access to Heathrow Airport, and the national motorway network.

Valley Road in Rickmansworth has a frost hollow. This is caused by the local geography, notably the railway embankment which prevents the natural drainage of cold air from a specific part of the valley. The greatest daily temperature range in England was recorded on 29 August 1936 in Rickmansworth when the temperature climbed from 1.1 °C at dawn to 24.9 °C within 9 hours due to this unique geographic feature.

Rickmansworth is sometimes shortened to Ricky, as used in the annual Ricky Week celebrations which occur in May. The town's canal history is remembered at the end of the week with the Rickmansworth Festival organised by Rickmansworth Waterways Trust. The annual Ricky Road Run takes place with more than 500 runners. The annual Victorian Evening, held in the town centre at the end of November, was changed to Starlight Evening in 2011. Inspired by the reference to Rickmansworth on the first page of The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy by Douglas Adams: And then, one Thursday, nearly two thousand years after one man had been nailed to a tree for saying how great it would be to be nice to people for a change, a girl sitting on her own in a small café in Rickmansworth suddenly realized what it was that had been going wrong all this time, and she finally knew how the world could be made a good and happy place. This time it was right, it would work, and no one would have to get nailed to anything.

The Aquadrome covers 41 hectares (100 acres) and includes the Aquadrome Local Nature Reserve, Batchworth and Bury Lakes, open grassland, areas of woodland, car parking, a café and a children's play area. Its boundaries are the River Colne to the north, the Grand Union Canal to the east and south and Stocker's Lake nature reserve to the west. In July 2009, it received a Green Flag Award for parks and open spaces which meet high standards.

Rickmansworth Memories

The Good old days

WALKING IN HERTFORDSHIRE | GREAT AND LITTLE HORMEAD

This 4 mile day walk in and around the villages of Great and Little Hormead in Hertfordshire was completed by myself and Candice.

The weather was decent for this time of year (no more snow!) and the route mostly traversed footpaths across arable land and beside streams, with a short section or two of country lanes.

The churches of each village were the main highlights on this short stroll. Sadly the oldest of the two was closed due to renovation work by the Churches Conservation Trust. It does date back to Norman times after all! Even the pub was closed!

Slow TV - Historic Narrowboat Pair boating in Real Time

Take a trip on Victoria (built in 1931) and Mercury (a horse boat built in 1926) on the Grand Union Canal near the Village of Harefield, which is based between Uxbridge and Watford west of London.

We start at Wide Water Lock, dropping down to wind, i.e. to turn the boats, and then set off heading North, upwards towards the Chiltern Hills.

There are a couple of breaks thanks to flat batteries, and filling up with water.
