London Transport : Central Area bus map cover : Number 3 : 1937 : East section

            In the format that survived for decades for London bus maps this is the 1937 version with the strong LT house style - a simple decorative border and the roundel in the centre. This version has the less common and eye catching airbrush stipple red field behind the roundel. Interesting to note that the company's Johnston typeface isn't used - by 1937 I have a suspicion that Christian Barman, the Publicity Manager and assistant to Frank Pick was experimenting with design and typography such as in ticket and map design. 

THis version of the bus map was actually designed and compiled by Lt. Colonel W. R. Mansfield M.I.Mech.E., M.Inst.T, F.R.P.S., M.S.I. of London in 1934 and was used for many editions.

I have, allowing for the folds of the map and its fragility managed to scan this is three sections; west, central and east. This section covers from the north in Essex, including Epping and Brentwood, through the East End and Docks to Westerham, Bromley and Dartford.

This carries the telephone number of ABBey 1234; This had just changed from the original VICtoria 6800.
