Transport for London’s ‘Legible London’ wayfinding project provides better information

throughout the Capital and to encourage people to walk. Legible London has been

proven to improve public transport systems, connected journeys, public health, the

economy, retail, tourism and business activities and the environment.

 

The success of the Legible London scheme has led to other cities to adopt similar

schemes throughout the UK and other countries.

 

Features of the wayfinding signage system includes modulisation, robustness,

lighting and solar power options, methods of displaying the mapping information and

compatibility with potential new communications technology.

 

The mapping system has also been integrated into Bus Stops and train stations

creating a connected travel network. Each sign has a unique commentary of the

surrounding area with useful travel information and a description of the geography of

nearby areas.
