SEATS OF LONDON

Revised and Updated Edition

Andrew Martin

Since this colourful and idiosyncratic little guide to the patterns on the carpet-like material that covers London’s Tube train and bus seats was first published in 2019 it has gone through seven printings, while the London Transport Museum’s moquette merchandise – everything from socks to sofas – has become a must-have style accessory.

In the meantime, TfL has continued to design beautiful new patterns for its new rolling stock – and even to commemorate the 90th anniversary of Victoria Coach Station. No other city is adorned in such a vibrant way.

This new, revised and expanded edition has 16 more pages, new moquettes and features, as well as all the historic designs from the London Transport Museum’s archive.
