Description: | This poster was published by London Transport (L.T.) in 1956, when 12 witty posters from the same series were issued at fortnightly intervals throughout the summer. Each one promoted a different attraction in Greater London. Subjects included Kew Gardens, Whipsnade and Hampton Court. Each presented a humorous image and limerick, followed by travel particulars and prices.
The series formed part of L.T.'s 'Use your Public Transport' campaign, which aimed to stimulate revenue from off-peak traffic, particularly at weekends. This edition by Hans Unger advertised travel to The Tower of London, which was free on Saturdays and bank holidays. | Format: | image/jpeg | Publisher: | London Transport Museum | Rights holder: | Transport for London | Subjects: | Transport Identity and Icons Art and Design | Temporal: | 1956 | Source: | London Transport Museum | Identifier: | http://www.20thcenturylondon.org.uk/rser... | Language: | en-GB | Format: | image/jpeg | Go to resource |
