"The second of the Underground books is an informative survey with well reproduced and artistic imagery...If your interest is the modern London Underground in the wider context you will love it"

John New, The Stephenson Locomotive Society Journal, March/April 2022

"The book is a fascinating panoply of carefully composed views that readers will gain much satisfaction from."

Rail Express Magazine - December 2021

"This book allows the reader to have a good poke about the system in the more obscure places and boy is there a lot to see. The author shows us what a treasure trove the Underground system truly is."

Diesel and Electric Modellers United, Winter 22 Issue

This books shows what a day tripper or tourist might notice while travelling in London on the Underground. It highlights many things easily missed by commuters rushing to and from work. Included are architecture, signs, signals, work in progress, shut down stations and ghost stations - there is even a section on buskers. Those who appreciate when things were designed and built to last and with style will enjoy the book, which cleverly introduces the reader to a superb cross-section of what is available to see while travelling around London.

"This book is subheaded ‘LOOK AGAIN’ and I am sure that having read this book, any reader will do just that the next time they get the chance to ‘Mind the Gap’!"

I thought that this book was excellent!

I loved the vast number of images and the different perspectives that the authors have captured to really make you rethink about the imagery and things you could walk past without taking notice of when you are travelling on the London Underground.

I liked that the book was broken in the different sections and it has inspired me to have a look for the more traditional and older parts of the Underground, I have seen them at Baker Street but never really thought to look elsewhere so the book is quite inspiring and I have a mini list of things I would like to take a photo of myself now!

The book is well laid out, nice and bright and even though I read it from cover to cover in an hour of so it is easily a book that could be dipped in and out of as needed.

It is 5 stars from me for this one and it is very good timing for me to have read it as I am due to be taking my four-year-old daughter to London for the first time next weekend and now we have plenty more to be looking out for – I do love books like this!!

Very highly recommended!

An interesting photographic book which looks at the surrounding architecture and the many different aspects of the whole London Underground system. This book is of great interest to anyone who wants to sample the complete atmosphere of the network as well as the trains.

Peter A. Harding, Branch Line & Light Railway Publications

I highly recommend the book, for both Londoners and people who are heading to London. Take 5 minutes and look around, at the architecture, lights, stairs, artwork. These are the chapters in the book and they could act as a guideline to what to look for.

The book concentrates on notable architecture and features, with captions generally limited to the location. The images over 146 pages vary from heritage signs/tiling, through modern construction to buskers and station gates. There’s even a few shots featuring trains! It highlights the visual treats there for all to see rather than detail their history.

Those interested in the sights and sounds of London’s Underground should find this book noteworthy and may well be encouraged to seek out some “not so Hidden” parts that they may have walked past, like me, without appreciating the huge variety all around.

If you have never visited the London Underground this is the perfect book to know it and if you have already visited it it will help you to see it from another point of view. It is such a complete photographic tour of the "Tube" that it even includes a curious section of the singers of the Metro.

Unos Cuantos Trenes

An excellent compilation of photographs of the iconic London Underground. It shows how the heritage of the world’s first underground system has been preserved and the latest developments meet such ideals
