Map licensing

The Underground map is recognised the world over as a symbol of London. But did you know it's protected by copyright and you need permission to reproduce it?

To use the map in your design, you need to get permission from Pulse Creative, our appointed map licensing administrator, by calling 0161 614 2013 or emailing tflmaps@pulsecreative.uk.com.

To use the London Underground map in a commercial publication, you will need to sign a licence agreement and you may need to pay royalty charges and artwork fees.

To obtain approval to reproduce TfL and National Rail maps:

  1. Place an order which is sent to Pulse Creative
  2. Pulse Creative sends you a licence agreement and invoice
  3. You sign and return the licence agreement and arrange payment to Pulse Creative
  4. Pulse Creative releases the artwork to you
