Museums swapped on mistaken maps

LONDON, Oct. 9 (UPI) -- Officials with Transport for London said the service's latest map was pulled from its Web site due to the mislabeling of two popular tourist destinations.

The map errors, which were not brought to the attention of officials until thousands of hard copies were distributed around the city, mistakenly identified the Victoria & Albert art museum as the Natural History Museum and vice versa, The Daily Telegraph reported.

The map, which was pulled from the Web site Thursday, is also completely missing Exhibition Road, which runs between the museums.

"We would like to thank the Daily Telegraph for bringing this to our attention. We are currently amending the map so the museums will be shown in their correct locations," a Transport for London spokeswoman said.

The map misprints came less than a month after London Mayor Boris Johnson ordered the River Thames to be reinstated on underground train maps. The river had been removed to make the maps appear less cluttered.
