The London Transportation Museum is currently hosting an exhibit entitled “Mind the Map: Inspiring Art, Design and Cartography” (which is a clever play on the omnipresent London Underground caution to ‘Mind the Gap’ when exiting or enter the subway).  From May 18th to October 28th this geographically-inspired exhibit will be open to the general public.  Yesterday at the Grand Opening, there were artists, authors and urban planners discussing their work, all of which dealt with the importance of transportation networks as an essential component to creating alternative urban visions.  There are also humanistic works of art that see transportation as the lifeblood of the city, pulsating to the rhythms of the diverse demographic segments and uniting Londoners.  This exhibit is absolutely for all London geographer teachers, or anyone visiting London before the exhibit closes on Oct 28, 2012.
