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.
Two of London's icons in one picture! From a railway viewpoint there is the classic London Underground Roundel and lamps marking an entrance to Piccadilly Circus Tube Station. Meanwhile Routemaster buses can still be seen on the streets of the Capital, be it on just two routes. In fact there are plans for a replacement!
More pictures of LONDON UNDERGROUND marking this event can be seen on our site below.
