Description

In this first episode, Tim Dunn navigates the many tunnels and architectural wonders of Bank station during a chat with the ‘Tubemapper’ Luke Agbaimoni, the man whose passion for taking photos on the Underground is propelling him to capture images of every station on the Tube map. After a quick trip on the Central line to Shepherd’s Bush station, Tim then sits down with world famous designer Wayne Hemingway, who created the London Underground staff uniforms, and who discusses his love of incredible design on the Tube. It’s then back into the heart of London for a tour of the iconic Piccadilly Circus station with TfL’s Ann Gavaghan, who passionately talks with Tim about the architectural heritage - and hidden secrets - of the 272 stations across the London Underground, and what features you might want to look out for on your next journey.
