Paperback edition of an extraordinary collection of black and white photographs of London's Underground.

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 commuter - 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.

Book Features:

Perfect for anyone interested in the history of the London Underground, its style and architecture.
Natural follow-on from David Long's earlier book.
The Little Book of the London Underground.
With a stunning collection of previously unpublished images by photographer Jane Magarigal.
