Tiles of the Unexpected, Underground  

Tiles of the Unexpected, Underground


By Douglas Rose

LONDON has been the home of the largest, most extensive decorative tiling project ever undertaken in Britain. The focus of the scheme was the completion in just five years of three deep-level London tube railways during the Edwardian era; the Bakerloo, Piccadilly and Hampstead Lines.

This book examines the conditions in early twentieth century London and shows that they were ideal for the inception of a genuinely innovative graphic explosion of design and colour and one that arguably helped make London’s Underground system the most famous in the world.
