Thames to be put back on London map

The River Thames is set to be put back onto maps of London after it was bizarrely omitted from recent publications.

Transport for London (TfL) had last week starting handing out new London Underground maps without the famous river.

They argued that it wasn't needed and made the map look too busy-- so it, along with zonal information, had been given the chop.

But after receiving hundreds of angry complaints, presumably from Londoners who had accidentally walked into the Thames thinking it had been removed, they say it will be restored.

Our personal highlight of the story though has got to be London Mayor Boris Johnson who has asked Londoners and tourists to "imagine the Thames in place until it reappears on the maps."
