London Tube Stations 1924-1961
Charles Holden's designs for the London Underground from the mid-1920s to the outbreak of World War II represent a high point of transport architecture and Modernist design in Britain. His collaboration with Frank Pick, the Chief Executive of London Transport, brought about a marriage of form and function still celebrated today.
London Tube Stations 1924-1961 catalogues and showcases every surviving station from this innovative period. These beautiful buildings have been meticulously documented by architectural photographer Philip Butler.
Annotated with station-by station reviews by writer and historian Joshua Abbot, the book provides an indispensable guide to the network's Modernist gems. All the key stations have a double page spread, with primary exterior photograph alongside supporting images. A broader historical introduction, illustrated with archival images from the London Transport Museum, gives historical context. A closing chapter lists the demolished examples alongside further period images.
