The suburbs have sprawled magnificently since then and London Transport Museum are zoning in on them for their next show. They will tell the story of how transport shaped the suburbs and continues to do so and explore how local identity, lifestyles and architecture come together to form the reality of suburbia. And they need your help. They've put a call out for photographs to be submitted to this Flickrpool under three themes: postcards from suburbia, suburban gardens and suburban interiors. What really goes on in the outer zones today? What do they look like, how have they changed? What is an outer London lifestyle in 2009? This is an opportunity to capture modern suburbia for posterity.
We challenge you to go one step further. Up your game and make your suburban snapshots fit the Londonist Flickrpool too. Let's get a picture of Metroland Londonist style as summer rolls on. Just where is it anyway? When do you know you're in it? Answer these questions by adding your photographs to our Flickrpool when you submit them to LTM's and we'll profile your suburbia, under LTM's themes in the build up to the opening.
Suburbia opens in October 2009 and selected images from the Show us Your Suburbia Flickrpool will be used on screens in the galleries at the Transport Museum throughout the exhibition.
