This 1998 painting by Robert Soden depicts the Jubilee line platforms at Stratford station. It's part of a series of 24 paintings showing the construction of the Jubilee line extension, which opened at Stratford station twenty years ago #onthisday. #jubileeline #stratford #stratfordstation #jubileelineextension #tfl #londonunderground #ltmcollection #painting #art #transporthistory

Happy #LoveTheatreDay! In this gorgeous 1926 poster from #LTMCollections, artist Verney L. Danvers cleverly conveys the message that London Underground takes you straight to Theatreland 🎭 #theatre #theatreland #westend #londonwestend #londonunderground #posterart #posterdesign #vintageposter

The Bullseye or Roundel design was until recently attributed to a Eddie Chapman, the Head Designer at John Holdsworth & Company Ltd. - the main manufacturers of moquette in the 1940s. During her research, our Curator Georgia Morley discovered that this moquette was actually designed by newcomer Joy Jarvis, a young female designer working in London at the time. #MoquetteMonday #ltmcollections #moquettedesign #joyjarvis #textiledesign #upholstery
