Harry Beck Underground station. Beck's home at 60 Courthouse Road, Finchley was marked with a plaque by the Finchley Society in 2003. Since 2001 Transport for London has also started to credit Beck for the original idea on the modern Tube maps. In March 2006 viewers of BBC2's "The Culture Show" and visitors to London's Design Museum voted Harry Beck's Tube map as their second-favourite British design of the 20th century in the Great British Design Quest. The winner was Concorde. In January 2009 the Royal Mail issued a set of postage stamps celebrating British design classics, among them was the contemporary
Memorial Plaque (medallion) to be issued into the 1930s to commemorate people who died as a consequence of the war. It was decided that the design of the plaque, was to be chosen from submissions made in a public competition. Over 800 designs were submitted and the competition was won by the sculptor and medallist Edward Carter Preston using the pseudonym "Pyramus", receiving two first place prizes of £250 for his winning and also an alternative design. Carter Preston's winning design includes an image of Britannia holding a trident and standing with a lion. The designer's initials, E.C.P., appear above the front paw.
