In case you missed the announcements, there are currently two small
exhibitions in London that may be of interest:
1. The V&A, in conjunction with RIBA, has "Underground Journeys: Charles
Holden's Designs for London Transport". It features original sketches,
drawings and models from about 80 years ago from Charles Holden's
architectural firm. You can see how the station design style changed
from the Northern Line to the Piccadilly Line extension. It includes
quite a few proposals that never happened, as well as those, like
Sudbury Town, that did.
Be warned that it's on the fourth floor (Room 128a), and appears not to
be accessible without lots of stairs.
How appropriate!
2. There's a possibly more topical Crossrail exhibition at the NLA
Thanks for both of these, Reccers. That's my weekend sorted.
