THE FIRST LONDON UNDERGROUND ROUNDEL IS 100 YEARS OLD.
In 1908 the companies operating London's Underground trains agreed to have just one symbol to represent all the different lines. The famous iconic Roundel we know today however did not start to appear until the early 1920s.
Another example of the classic roundel this one at Harrow on the Hill on the Met Line pictured in September 2008.
