Underground Cathedrals – The World-Class Art, Architecture and Design of the London Underground.
The world’s first underground railway has a unique heritage of architecture, ingenious design, powerful advertising posters and unique calligraphy. This talk plots the early development of the Underground, examines the legacy of Frank Pick and Charles Holden, looks at some of the iconic posters, and celebrates the award-winning architecture of the modern Tube in the Jubilee Line extension and the brilliant Elizabeth Line stations, designed by some of the world’s top architects.
