Description
London Transport has always wanted the best design, be it Charles Holden's superb art deco Tube stations on the Piccadilly Line, its elegant Johnston typeface or Harry Beck's Tube map. Moquette is the carpet-like fabric covering the seats we sit on in London's Tubes, buses, trams and Overground trains and this is a brilliantly colourful guide to all its patterns from the first horse bus to the latest Tube train. It reveals that in the Thirties top artists like Paul Nash and Enid Marx were commissioned to design patterns and nowadays every line like Crossrail or the Overground gets its own unique, colour-co-ordinated one.
