The author of a new book about London Transport’s famous moquette fabrics for its seats will be giving a talk in October about the same topic.
Andrew Martin has written a guide to all these patterns and their history, from the first horse bus to the latest Tube train, and covering everything from the possible influence of Margot Fonteyn’s luggage on a Routemaster’s seats to the moquette pattern most preferred by cats.
He’ll be giving a talk in Stanfords book shop on the evening of Wednesday 9th October about the famous fabric designs.
Tickets £4 (redeemable against the price of Seats of London by Andrew Martin).
Includes a glass of wine/soft drink.
