Description

London Transport have commissioned a huge variety of artists and designers and promoted a wide range of artistic and graphic styles and techniques.

During the early 1990s a spate of breakdowns on the Circle line between Edgware Road and Baker Street led to an examination of records dating back to when the tunnels were dug. Terry White's careful curation of stories ensures that this anthology is not just a collection of tales set in London but a profound reflection on the human experience within the urban landscape. Darren (Conrad Plentie), Michael (Kyle Turlunch), and Mark (Akpore Uzoh) are three brothers with very different attitudes and lifestyles. Read about how Black women have contributed to London Transport over the years, from canteen staff to bus drivers and beyond. Read how London Transport was tasked with quickly moving people to the countryside or for onward travel.Be part of this ancient tradition, which has taken place every night for at least 700 years in the Ceremony of the Keys at the Tower of London. To support the Caribbean recruitment scheme in the 1950s - 70s, London Transport made promotional films portraying a positive view of the city new recruits were moving to. Retired Met detective Geoff Platt claims that Scotland Yard suppressed a case in the 1970s, in which a homeless man confessed to deliberately pushing 18 innocent victims in front of Northern line trains.

Professor David Mosey saw the negative impact on the UK construction industry of ‘dog eat dog’ competition before most people. With the help of young people from Tower Hamlets and other east London boroughs, 100 East London Stories launched in October 2017. To this day his macabre ‘auto-icon’ is on show at UCL, and is still occasionally wheeled into staff meetings – most recently in 2(1) to honour the outgoing provost.In most of them, London, sometimes not even mentioned, is merely in the background, and not a character of its own, as I had expected. This, together with a cross-cultural desire and need to be accepted, leads to a re-evaluation of sometimes deeply held beliefs and values and, ultimately, to the resolution or mitigation of the unique set of problems affecting each of the families. His in-depth photo essays explore social issues relating to identity, environment and human transition. This 60 minute low budget film written and directed by Ryan Claffey and produced by Carl Bryan will challenge your perceptions.
