London's Underground H/C

With a supporting text detailing the rich architectural and
design heritage of the London Underground, this unique
photographic collection provides a striking record of the
subterranean city before financial pressures, a lack of
planning and investment and new safety legislation began to
take their toll. Exploring the fascinating history and
important nostalgia value of the network - both aspects
which are rarely appreciated by the average strap-hanging
commuter - the book celebrates what remains a magnificent
engineering and aesthetic achievement while providing an
affectionate if slightly elegiac portrait of a London which
is now gone for good.
