The Taste of the Tube


All Londoners are familiar with the London Underground. The delays, the temperature and the smell are the most frequently complains. But there is a 54 years old man, James Wannerton, who has a particular relationship with the Tube and its stations because he is synesthetes.

The synaesthesia, as it is defined by the Oxford dictionary, is a neurological condition in which "the production of a sense impression relating to one sense or part of the body by stimulation of another sense or part of the body".


In other words, James's senses get mixed up and these are some of his experiences.

                  

Every time that he reads the name of a London Underground station, suddenly it comes to his head a singular taste. Do you want to know which is the sweetest station? And the most disgusting one? James has created a new London Underground map version. So... have a look!
