There was a BBC 4 show about maps called "Power, Plunder and Possession". It was a very interesting look into how maps and the territory they depict aren't as matter-of-fact as they're often taken to be. http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b00s5m7w/episodes/guide I have absolutely no idea where you'd go about finding this if you want to watch it but I'd encourage doing so if you're interested in this topic.

I didn't mean to badger you into taking it down, just that with no label or original filename it's hard to get context for what it's depicting (given that we've had the hog distribution map earlier ITT, it could have been anything) penus de milo fucked around with this message at 10:04 on Feb 3, 2013 |

Speaking of 'politically loaded' check out the Emirates Air Line in square 8D. That's the Thames-spanning cable car and it represents the first time a corporate sponsor's name and logo appear on official Tube maps. That's a fairly big deal to some people.
