London's Tube map has been redesigned to celebrate the contribution black people have made to British life throughout history to mark Black History Month.
The 272 station names have been replaced by notable black figures from pre-Tudor times to the present day including author Andrea Levy, singer Errol Brown, footballer Justin Fashanu.
Others featured in the map include the first black woman to serve in the Royal Navy, who disguised herself as a man called William Brown - and replaces Barons Court.
Embankment was renamed after Victorian circus owner Pablo Fanque while Battersea Power Station becomes John Archer, London's first black mayor - as mayor of Battersea.
