What would happen if you tried to make a giant tube map out of Quality Street chocolate? How many chocolates would it take? What kind of Quality Street would you use for the Jubilee line? Wouldn't the toffee pennies just melt everywhere?
There's a behind the scenes 'Making of..' video now here: • Chocolate Tube Map Extras
In this festive video, we decided to find out the answer to all these questions.
Merry Christmas from everyone at Londonist! Make sure you subscribe to us on RU-vid for loads of incredible videos all about London.
Thanks to everyone for taking part, and especially to Sarah Smith @ses_smith from GNproductions @gnp_london for filming. Music by Steven @SWI_Steven. Edited by @geofftech and filmed at the fantastic RU-vid Space London studio facility.

Excellent stuff Geoff. Your new "Tube Challenge" should you choose to accept it will be to eat the map in less than 16 hours 14 minutes and 10 seconds.

I had this idea a while back with jelly belly flavors. Here are the flavors for each line Metropolitan - Raspberry District - Green Apple Circle - Lemon H&C - Cotton Candy Northern: Licorice Central: Cherry Bakerloo: Root Beer Piccadilly: Blueberry Victoria: Berry Blue Jubilee: Cream Soda Overground: Orange There were no flavors in the color of the Waterloo & City or the DLR

@QuantumScratcher Год назад

If there are blackberry ones then that would be a perfect colour for the Elizabeth line.

Geoff, this was so funny to watch. My son loved it. You've been a true inspiration to him in developing a new hobby that we are more than happy to support. Quality, no pun, family time whizzing around on the Underground, lots of laughs, lots of history & memories being made. Thank you.

Could you do the tube map in Minecraft? Or any game that has a sandbox with multiple colours?

@squidgrill 5 лет назад

For a slightly added challenge, try doing it in only a 132x132 area (the area a map typically covers) so that you can get it up on a map-sign!

@snyland 8 лет назад

+Geofftech Sure! I'm always up for an adventure. My London adventures include a visit for the Royal Wedding in 2011 (I even got featured on the BBC - but if you blinked, you missed me). I've published a tour book on London to help tourists save money on the Tube and on attractions (Sally Nyland's London- Amazon.com - 2016 edition coming soon!) I'm coming over in July - spending a few days in Glasgow and then back to London to celebrate my birthday! If you wanted to meet me during that time, I'd certainly make myself available. I love all your Tube stories and secrets! Cheers!
