THE FIRST LONDON UNDERGROUND ROUNDEL IS 100 YEARS OLD.
In 1908 the companies operating London's Underground trains agreed to have just one symbol to represent all the different lines. The famous iconic Roundel we know today however did not start to appear until the early 1920s. This is one of the first designs and can still be seen on the District Line platform at Ealing Broadway in November 2008. More pictures of LONDON UNDERGROUND marking this event can be seen on our site below.
