Commissioned work throughout this year will promote Dulwich Picture Gallery, London Zoo, the Royal Albert Hall and the museum itself in tube stations
London Transport Museum will highlight four renowned London cultural attractions in a new series of posters set for display in Underground stations.
The museum has commissioned a new series of poster artworks by artist Eliza Southwood.
The new series marks the return of contemporary artists being commissioned to create TfL travel posters for the first time since 2020.
It continues the Underground Group and London Transport’s tradition of commissioning artists to create poster artworks that promote things to see and do in the capital.
Travellers on the London Underground will be able to spot the first of the colourful new poster artworks, Dulwich Picture Gallery, from Friday 4 April at stations across the capital.
In Summer, the London Transport Museum itself will be the subject of the second poster’s design, followed by the Royal Albert Hall in autumn and London Zoo at the end of the year into early 2026.
First edition posters and limited-edition artwork prints are expected to be sold at the museum and Dulwich Picture Gallery.
The new poster series is part of London Transport Museum’s ‘Transported by Culture’ initiative to bring more art, music and theatre programming to its visitors. For 2025 this also includes weekly live jazz and classic musical performances from young musicians in its main gallery, and a new theatre production to be announced later this month.
The newly commissioned posters will join London Transport Museum’s collection of approximately 36,000 posters and artworks – one of the world’s largest collections of twentieth century graphic art and design.
Elizabeth McKay, director and CEO of London Transport Museum, called the posters “part of our bold new vision to celebrate the capital’s creativity through art, theatre and music programming for our visitors.
