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 station to feature tiles is Marylebone on the Bakerloo Line that also retains a nice historic touch as the words 'Great Central' can still be seen on the walls. Marylebone was of course the London terminus for that railway company and although one of the Capitals smaller terminus stations is today in November 2008 a very thriving one.
