Transport for London (TfL) has a wealthy historical past that spans greater than 160 years and transcends the borders of London and the UK, with globally recognised iconography resembling our purple buses, black cabs, Tube maps and well-known roundel. After three years of shut collaboration with Google Arts & Tradition, we’re delighted to be bringing our archives, histories and tales on-line for a world viewers with this new exhibition.
United in our ardour to protect tradition and artwork, we wished to immerse customers in our world of transport in a brand new, accessible manner. With the digitisation of greater than 2,000 paperwork and pictures from our Company Archive collections — together with tons of of historic maps — this on-line exhibition shares our historical past, present tasks and cultural contributions, and particulars the tales and moments that led TfL to be who we’re immediately.
