Suburbia

Until 31 March 2010

Suburbia explores how public transport helped to create the myths and identity of suburbia and how it has featured in the cultural fabric of London and Britain over the last 100 years.

The exhibition looks at how transport has shaped the suburbs and celebrate suburban lifestyle, architecture, design and popular culture through a series of unique displays. Mixing fun, fact and a little bit of fantasy to rejoice in a place that we collectively continue to love and hate.

The look of the suburbs is explored through previously unseen posters, photographs, early publicity material, signs and maps, images of domestic and commercial architecture and gardens, shown alongside pictures of the railway and Underground stations built to serve them. The gallery explores the changing building styles which define the suburban experience - along with film, drawings, plans, 'before and after' photographs, recently acquired toys and games to complete the picture.
