Transported by Design

Transported by Design was a programme of activities which aimed to raise awareness of the importance of both physical and service design in London's transport network. The 18-month long campaign showcased how design has helped shape London's transport system as known today.[1][2]

• Black cab
• work of Frank Pick
• Harry Beck's original tube map
• Baker Street tube station platforms
• London Underground roundel
• AEC Routemaster bus
• Mark Wallinger's Labyrinth
• RT type bus
• S-Stock trains
• Westminster tube station[6][7][8]

The programme showcased transport design through exhibitions,[9][10][11] walks,[12] the launch of a new uniform for London Underground in November 2015[13][14] and an even, at Regent Street in July 2016[15][16][17] The programme was sponsored by Exterion Media.[18][19]
