A 1931 design by Ernest Michael Dinkel, proclaiming that "The West End is awakening" feels just as relevant 90 years later as we watch London snap back to life, as it did then, when it advertised the new Piccadilly Circus station.
Many of London Transport's most celebrated designs came out of the 1920s and 1930s. The interwar years were something of a golden age for tube art, from beautifully bold posters by London-born designer Horace Taylor to the avant-garde work of Edward McKnight Kauffer. Thanks to the online shop's browse-by-decade feature, finding your favourite era of London Underground art couldn't be easier.
