There are a host of amusing Underground map derivatives that have appeared over the years - all of them harmless and actually contributing to raising awareness of London as a world city. Unfortunately I don't think I can give a you a link to any of them any more as TfL's lawyers have pursued all the creators with cease-and-desist orders. The only ones remaining are licensed derivatives like these. I don't know whether TfL charge for the license or merely a percentage of sales. That's their choice, but where somebody creates a derivative purely for amusement I think they are being rotten spoilsports.
