Pick-a-Holly Circus: London Underground map given Christmas makeover

A man has brought Christmas cheer to the London Underground map by editing station names to highlight the festive season.

From "North Pole Gate" to "Treegent's Park" to "Silent Nightsbridge" - each station takes in a different aspect of Christmas celebrations.

Only one station needed no amendment to be festive, Angel in Islington.

Lewisham resident, Paul (@bitoclass) spent two nights brainstorming the map with wife Edith (@wiilassie) who came up with '"Ho Ho Hoxton".

The London Transport Museum declined Paul's suggestion they mass produce this version of the map for Christmas.

Throughout Christmas Day, no underground,overground, DLR, bus services will be running in London.
