4.0 out of 5 stars Very good history. Becomes a little dry as it progresses., 7 April 2003
By Peter Fenelon - See all my reviews
(TOP 50 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
Excellent illustrations and a good historical sweep through the first century or so of the history of the Underground. Fascinating when describing how the Inner Circle was created, how deep-level tubes supplemented cut-and-cover. Describes the golden era of Metroland in detail, and shows the important part the Tube played in London's growth. Starts to become a little less interesting in the post-WW2 era - the politics, construction and technology of the Victoria and Jubilee lines are dealt with rather too briskly. As an interested non-expert, I felt this book contained pretty much everything I wanted to know and was surprisingly readable.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good coverage of the history!, 25 Aug 2009
By KRWS (Johannesburg, South Africa) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Story of London's Underground (Hardcover)
Packed with interesting photographs (a very strong point) and interesting facts, this book is a suprisingly easy read.

The history is covered well, as well as the related social and technical developments.

TRecommeded.
