Using the maps

Introduction

The way you use the maps is separated into classifications. Different royalty charges, based on the number of copies printed, apply for each of the usage types below. All costs are payable in advance of usage.

The artwork must be supplied by Pulse Creative and the map cannot be changed or altered in any way.

Maps are available in a range of sizes and formats.

Internet

This is when you are using the map on your website and will not be printing it.

In order to reproduce the London Underground map on a website, you must apply for a Licence Agreement and obtain artwork from Pulse Creative.

The cost of the agreement and artwork for commercial purposes is £500.00 + VAT

If you wish to have interactive use of the map, the charge will be £1,500 + VAT

If you wish to make the map available for mobile download the charge will be £750 + VAT

The royalty free price for internet usage is £295 + VAT

Royalty free

This is when registered charities, educational or government organisations wish to use the map. The licence is royalty free but the artwork fee of £290 + VAT per artwork is still payable.

A charge of £5 + VAT also applies to ensure that the agreement is legally binding.

All costs are payable on completion of the agreement.
