Скачать или смотреть 'Golden age' London Underground posters go on show (UK) 24/Nov/2025

Some of the first graphic art posters displayed on the London Underground in the 1920s and 1930s have gone on show.

The posters were created in distinctive Art Deco style at the peak of the design movement and were put up at Tube stations a century ago to encourage people to travel on the network to explore the city.

The artworks typically feature London landmarks and depict aspirational scenes of high living and glamorous pastimes that the era is famed for.

London Transport Museum, which is holding the exhibition of the posters, said they had become part of London Transport's world-famous visual identity.

The Art Deco: The Golden Age of Poster Design exhibition in the Global Poster Gallery features more than 100 posters that were used on the network during this era.

About a third of these have never been displayed in public, according to the Covent Garden museum.
