I'd not seen this (version) before! official TfL stuff...

It's a shame it doesn't show walking times between stuff not on the same line - such as Queensway and Bayswater.

Precisely my thought too! That map's only of any use to anyone on days of restricted service (operational difficulties/strikes etc)!

I really dislike this map. Walking from station to station along a tube line is a stupid idea. Queensway to Bayswater? Chancery Lane to Farringdon? Wembley Central to Sudbury Town? Instead we're given Canary Wharf to North Greenwich and North Greenwich to Canning Town.

I suppose given how much you pay to go a single stop in z1, it would be useful to know that it's an easy walk between adjacent stop on the same line

I suppose the map is for such people.

Luckily it doesn't go past Zone 2, so we don't have to deal with the ridiculous ~2 hours walking time between North Greenwich and Canning Town.

It would be a long way (via Greenwich Foot Tunnel). Google Maps says 107 minutes.

Also there is one station that is impossible to walk to from any other Tube station- Heathrow Central.

There is a website I stumbled across where a person has done all the Tube lines on foot- you can read about it here: http://www.tubewalker.com/about_tubewalking/

The map already existed anyway (at least for the central area):

I assume TfL must have come to some deal with them.

Regarding places where it's quicker to walk between two lines than take the Tube, there's this map (out of date now, but the stations haven't moved!).

TfL own the map, why would they need to come to a deal with anyone. What's more likely is that they threatened to sue those who created the walking map. TfL have pass form in this area.

As for not showing non adjacent walking times, locals know them and tourists get lost (and lose TfL money).

Well, the company in question (AryJoe Creatives) hasn't taken it down from its website. It got quite a lot of media publicity when it was first launched (at the time of the tube strike), so I assumed they must have had TfL's permission to use the map.
