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.

This is a more modern version pictured at West Ham on the Jubilee Line in November 2008.
