Trust me dear reader there comes a time in one’s life when memory is not just an abstract concept, but something that needs to be monitored. So any aide memoir is a welcome discovery or a means to test memory.
Many have travelled regularly along the same Underground route and can probably name every station, it helps to know how far you are from your destination, but how many other stations on the network are known?
Our mobile phones now enable us to talk without the necessity of remembering telephone numbers, and SatNavs reduce the need to commit a route to memory, they also suppress spatial awareness.
Are you losing the ability to store information, how many of the London Tube stations can you name from memory?
London Tube Memory Game challenges you to name as many stations as you can and shows on a map where your identified station is in London, it also gives the number for each Underground line you’ve found.
My attempt was 12.1% of the network, not good, but considering I’ve hardly travelled by Tube for decades (last year I discovered that you can walk down the length of a moving train without opening and closing doors), so not too bad.
