Interest in the London Underground has long persisted among enthusiasts, historians, and architects alike. What sets this book apart is Deakin’s ability to seamlessly marry these interests. The patchwork nature of this curated collection not only breathes new life into a substantial history lesson but appeals to anyone intrigued by the rich history of these tunnels, making it accessible to both amateur enthusiasts and those with a more academic inclination.Included are some quirkier facts of the lesser-known stations, which are often the truest to their original design as they have remained untouched. Readers will be familiar with some of the more well-known stations on the merit of their own personal stories rather than just architectural beauty.Inevitably on a network of 272 stations, some fantastic stops are missing from this book, and in a lot of cases one of those will be ‘your’ station.
