Biblical Tube


Another curious underground map was created by James Eaglesfield one year ago to connect York and London. James was inspired to design this sketch when he was a volunteer on York Mystery Plays 2012. 

In this sacred map, you can discover biblical places, spiritual connections, holy stations and religious references.


Questions: 
Can you find Ascension Central, Old Testament Gate, Angel Gabriel, Barabbas-ican, Crucifix-ton, Canada Holy Water, Covent Garden of Eden, Herod Park Corner, Lamb of God North, Cain & Abel, Gad’s Hill, Jonah & The Whale, Lucifer Road or Seven Thunder?

Whitechapel Murders

Tourists maybe don’t know what or where Whitechapel is, but Londoners have knowledge of this district, for sure. Situated in East London, in the London Borough of Tower Hamlets, it is a poor–working class neighbourhood. In its streets you can find a great diversity. Bangladeshis define the 52% of the community total inhabitants. A really particular neighbourhood full of colours, fruit stands, people and life.

But this zone, years ago, it was really famous because of some horrible crimes. Within its boundaries, from 3rd April of 1888 to 13th February of 1891, the Whitechapel murders happened. Eleven unsolved homicides, five of them prostitutes, were attributed to a serial killer known as Jack the Ripper.

It happened more than one century ago, but the mystery is still present.
