The District line is 150 years old! We are celebrating its past, present and future throughout 2019, as part of TfL’s District 150 celebrations. In this first blog installment, our curator Simon Murphy unravels the history of the District line through maps from our collection.

Simon Murphy introduces our new Digging Deeper gallery, telling the tunnelling story of London's transport over the last 200 years.

Discover why a small item in our collection became more than just a model to display in our new Digging Deeper gallery, but an important piece of tunnelling history.
