On Friday, a number of tube stations will wash with the sound of waves breaking on stony beaches and the cry of seagulls looking for discarded chips.
For one day only, the National Trust and Transport for London bring sea sounds from our coastline to selected London Underground stations, including Waterloo, Embankment, several along the Thames, as well as Seven Sisters — the namesake of a stretch of cliffs cared for by the National Trust.
The project is part of a Transport for London initiative that seeks to bring (non rodent based) nature into Underground stations.
This particular event is part of the National Trust’s celebration of 50 years since the launch of the Neptune Coastline Campaign, which has helped to fund the acquisition of 574 miles of coastline by the National Trust.
