Description: | Entry to the 'Holidays in Britain' exhibition held at Charing Cross (now Embankment) Underground in 1954 station was free. The exhibition had two purposes. The first was to persuade Londoners to holiday in Britain, rather than taking costly flights abroad. The second was to encourage tourists who had come to London to venture further into the countryside. This would help the economy of those rural areas.
The British Travel and Holidays Association was an official agency that also tried to entice foreigners to holiday in Britain in the national interest. | Format: | image/jpeg | Publisher: | London Transport Museum | Rights holder: | Transport for London | Subjects: | Environment Leisure | Temporal: | 24 Apr 1954 | Source: | London Transport Museum | Identifier: | http://www.20thcenturylondon.org.uk/rser... | Language: | en-GB | Format: | image/jpeg | Go to resource |
