The London Transport Museum in Covent Garden Piazza, London, is celebrating poster design for London Underground with an exhibition showcasing 150 of “London’s Underground’s Greatest Designs”. The posters were selected from the Museum’s archive of over 3,300 Underground posters. The exhibition opened in February and runs until 27 October 2013 ltmuseum.co.uk
