Children at Whittingham Primary Academy have worked with artist Michael Crowe to produce a new Transport for London leaflet known as the Spaghetti Map. This publication identifies the specific locations of various artworks found throughout the London Underground network.
The project involved more than 100 children from five different London primary schools. These students contributed to the creative writing and art elements of the map, which uses themes ranging from Greek mythology to Ghanaian Akan symbols. The design also incorporates references to angels and sunsets to highlight how public art impacts daily life.

Four primary school students provided original drawings and writing for a series of seven new posters. These posters are currently on display in the South Kensington Subway. This specific area provides a link between South Kensington Station and the Science, Natural History, and Victoria & Albert museums.
“The Spaghetti Map is the latest brilliant example of how this project sparks creativity and imagination in children and young people during the summer holidays.”
