That's London Brighton and South Coast Railway, one of the regional precursors of the Southern Railway, which was amalgamated into British Rail, which begat Southern (amongst others). This map - and another, which shows the links all the way down to the coast - are hidden in alcoves in one of the main entrances to Victoria Station and date back to before 1923, when the LB&SCR was swallowed up. You don't often see old maps like this preserved at stations (can't think of another offhand), so I'm always pleased to see it. 99.9% of people who go past it, of course, never even notice it.
