Two tours focused on modernism in the London Underground have been announced for later this year. Both tours are limited to 25 people.

Piccadilly Line Tour: Turnpike Lane to Cockfosters – Saturday 12th May

 

To celebrate the anniversaries of Charles Holden’s birth on May 12th and 85 years since some of these stations opened, this tour is looking at some of Holden’s most iconic London Transport work.

Taking in the stations of Turnpike Lane, Wood Green, Bounds Green, Arnos Grove, Southgate and Cockfosters, the tour will also note other modernist buildings along the way, such as Curtis and Burchetts work for Middlesex County Council.

SUPPORT THIS WEBSITE

This website has been running now for over a decade, and while advertising revenue contributes to funding the website, it doesn't cover the costs. That is why I have set up a facility with DonorBox where you can contribute to the costs of the website and time invested in writing and research for the news articles.

It's very similar to the way The Guardian and many smaller websites are now seeking to generate an income in the face of rising costs and declining advertising.

Whether it's a one-off donation or a regular giver, every additional support goes a long way to covering the running costs of this website, and keeping you regularly topped up doses of Londony news and facts.

If you like what you read on here, then please support the website here.
