The new book ‘Hidden London Discovering the Forgotten Underground’ is an intriguing history of disused and re-purposed London Underground spaces. Behind locked doors and lost entrances lies a secret world of redundant stations and passageways, empty elevator shafts and cavernous ventilation ducts, some of which housed air raid shelters, secret wartime offices, and Winston Churchill's bunker. Lavishly illustrated with previously unseen archives, architectural drawings and photographs, this book is an authoritative account of London's vast and vital transportation network, with breathtaking images and unexpected stories. Available to pre-order now! #hiddenlondontour #hiddenlondonbook #newbook #newrelease #secretlondon #undergroundstations #londonunderground #ltmuseumshop

In the 1930s different moquettes were used in First Class compartments. Marion Dorn’s ‘Ladder’ design (L) was used in third class & Enid Marx’s ‘Bushey’ design in First Class. The separate compartment disappeared after the outbreak of WW2. #MoquetteMonday #didyouknow #ltmcollections #textiledesign #mariondorn #enidmarx #firstclass #londontransporthistory #transporthistory #moquette #upholstery #ladder #bushey

The 1930s Chesham design - showed in our last #MoquetteMonday - was so popular that it was re-drawn in a different colourway in the 1950s. These two designs, only subtly different, were trialled and the one on the right was chosen for the Piccadilly line. #MoquetteMonday #ltmcollections #moquettedesign #textiledesign #chesham #mariondorn #londontransport #piccadillyline #ladderdesign
