| Leslie Green is a name unknown to most Londoners, but the legacy of his short life as an architect is visible in the highly distinctive deep-red terra cotta Underground stations he gesigned in 1905-07, most of which still stand. This book deals primarily with the stations as they are today, but the contemporary colour photography is supplements by historical black and white views. The Author works for London Underground and has a special interest in “heritage” stations. Contents:
