The London Underground has long been the playground for creative commuters and guerilla artists doctoring existing signs or adding their own. We collect them.

Ranoush Juice spotted this on the Circle Line ‘Priority seat for people who are overweight, conjoined or charming snakes’. (via Londonist)
‘Peak hours may necessitate that you let other people sit on your lap’ – also seen here.
This beauty was seen on the Gatwick Express ‘ for a more efficient service please alight at the next stop where a team of heavily drugged sloths will drag you to your destination.’
One bemused blogger snapped this: ‘Do not acknowledge fellow passengers or sustain eye beyond 2 seconds. Please respect urban solitude’
thanks to @stmartin76 for emailing us with this
A £200 fine for sitting
The omnipresent whiteboards are a bit of gift too – at this Northern Line station ‘If Cinderella’s show fitted so perfectly how come it fell off in the first place?’
(via Going Underground)
There’s been a fair few adjustments to the Circle Line maps with revised destination stickers. In fact there’s a whole blog dedicated to this.

HaHaHaHaHaHa If only I knew how to photoshop!
What’s the London Underground? Where’s London?
You Londoners moan because your ‘tube’ is 2 minutes late. In my part of the world you’re lucky if you get a bus an hour 9-5 5 days a week.
That’s what you get for living in Paris with your niece and precocious dog.
shepherd’s pie! genious
Some of these, and more, appear to be posted by “Stickers on the Central Line” http://stickersonthecentralline.tumblr.com/
Saw this one the other day… Made me chuckle.

hehehe love stuff like this.
Paddington’s Bakerloo Line ‘Southbound platform’ sign sported the beautiful addition of ‘northbound only’ until quite recently, when the oafish Olympics signpainters took it upon themselves to cover it over. A sad loss.
Hah! Amazing. I spotted this at Shoreditch Overground: http://flic.kr/p/a7t9Ma
And this on Shoreditch High Street: http://flic.kr/p/bGEkqK
…spot a pattern here?
Why can’t I find the pork in your pork pies?
For the same reason you won’t find a shepherd in your shepherds pie, or a vegetarian in your vegetarian pie.
very ha ha
very HaHa
I almost wet myself and nearly sharted laughing at those signs.
I heard the story on Nat’l Public Radio on the way home from work.
Brilliant sarcasm. Leave to the British. Well done!
If you almost wet yourself without actually laughing you may have a bladder problem. Book yourself a urologist appointment at your soonest convenience.
“The omnipresent whiteboards are a bit of gift too” – this one is actually done by a guy at the station and thus isn’t really guerilla anything.
