London UndergroundArchitecture, Design and History
Author(s): David Long; Jane Magarigal (Photographer)
A stunning collection of previously unpublished photographs perfect for anyone interested in the history of London Underground, its style, and architecture With a supporting text detailing the rich architectural and design heritage of the London Underground, this unique photographic collection provides a striking record of the subterranean city before financial pressures, a lack of planning and investment, and new safety legislation began to take their toll. Exploring the fascinating history and important nostalgia value of the network--both aspects which are rarely appreciated by the average strap-hanging rider--the book celebrates what remains a magnificent engineering and aesthetic achievement while providing an affectionate if slightly elegiac portrait of a London which is now gone for good.
