London: Underground Roundel
The origins of the roundel, in earlier years known as the ‘bulls-eye’ or ‘target’, are obscure.
While the first use of a roundel in a London transport context was the 19th-century symbol of the London General Omnibus Company — a wheel with a bar across the centre bearing the word GENERAL — its usage on the Underground stems from the decision in 1908 to find a more obvious way of highlighting station names on platforms.
The red circle with blue name bar was quickly adopted, with the word “UNDERGROUND” across the bar, as an early corporate identity. The logo was modified by Edward Johnston in 1919.

London: Mind the Gap
The London Underground is a rapid transit system serving a large part of Greater London and neighbouring areas. Despite the name, about 55% of the network is above ground. It is usually referred to officially as ‘the Underground’ and colloquially as the Tube.
The nickname “the Tube” comes from the circular tube-like tunnels through which the trains travel and within which the station platforms are built.
“Please Mind The Gap between the train and the platform. Mind the Gap!”

London: Tower Hill Underground Station
Tower Hill is a London Underground station at Tower Hill in the London Borough of Tower Hamlets. The entrance to the station is located a few metres from one of the largest remaining segments of the Roman wall which formerly surrounded what is now the City of London.
It replaced a station with the same name, but earlier called Mark Lane tube station, that was farther west.

London: Eye, Mirrored
The Eye has done for London what the Eiffel Tower did for Paris, which is to give it a symbol and to let people climb above the city and look back down on it. Not just specialists or rich people, but everybody. That’s the beauty of it: it is public and accessible, and it is in a great position at the heart of London. Sir Richard Rogers, winner of the 2007 Pritzker Architecture Prize
