A London Underground enthusiast has combined the Tube map with a plan of the Beijing Subway to create a new 'grid-like' city plan.
Alastair Carr created the quirky design by taking both maps, aligning Tiananmen Square in the Chinese capital with Trafalgar Square, and assigning names to all the stations based on their new positions in London.
The map positions stations the same distance apart as they would be in Beijing, giving Zone 1 new stations in Mayfair, Kensington Palace and King's Road.
As part of the project, the 22-year-old economist had to create some new stations in far-flung villages on the outskirts of London - such as Cock Clarks (near Chelmsford), Bisley (near Woking) and Harmondsworth (near Heathrow).
Alastair, who lives in Balham, revealed the map on his blog Not Quite Tangible, where he has previously created a futuristic map of what the Underground could look like in 2040 and a map where he replaced stations with Waitrose and Lidl stores.
The Cambridge University graduate also found a number of bizarre coincidences between the two transport maps.
He found that many of Beijing's railway stations are moved to random places in London, but the largest railway station ends up in Battersea - where Clapham Junction station is.
Alastair also found that Line 28 of the Beijing Subway, which runs between the city's two business districts, would link the City and Canary Wharf in London.
The map would also plonk stations in the middle of Hyde Park and Regents Park and four in Richmond Park.
The Beijing Subway has 370 stations on 22 lines, which stretch 377.9 miles - making it the second longest Metro system in the world after the Shanghai Metro.
The London Underground has just 270 stations on 11 lines, which stretch 250 miles.
