So much of suburbia has been developed because of and alongside the Underground. This lecture will follow its development from the steam-hauled days of the 19th century to its golden years of the 1930s. The evolving architecture of its stations will be a major theme, culminating in the exciting avant-garde structures of Charles Holden, whose Art Deco 55 Broadway remains a major building. Along with this, we will see the work of numerous artists promoting the lure of suburbia through posters and the rapid connection with working London and its widespread amenities.
