Description
Charles Holden's designs for the London Underground from 1924 to 1961 represent a high point of transport architecture and Modernist design in Britain. His collaboration with Frank Pick resulted in a marriage of form and function that is still celebrated today. This book catalogues and showcases every surviving station from this innovative period, featuring beautiful photographs by architectural photographer Philip Butler alongside annotated overviews by writer and historian Joshua Abbott. A broader historical introduction provides context, while a closing chapter lists the demolished examples alongside further period images. These stations are notable for their blend of historic and futuristic design, as noted by architectural historian Nicholas Pevsner. With double-page spreads featuring primary exterior photographs alongside supporting images, this book is an indispensable guide to the network's Modernist gems.
