THE FIRST LONDON UNDERGROUND ROUNDEL IS 100 YEARS OLD. 
<p>
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 very colourful roundel brackground is at Marble Arch on the Central Line and pictured in November 2008.
Amazingly this design is just one of MANY at the station making it one of the Undergrounds most colourful stops.
