1946 Leicester Square London Underground Station Poster
Original 1946 London Underground Station Location Poster - Leicester Square
Colour lithograph printed by Stanford for London Transport. Print Code 446.997.G100. Double Royal format measuring 101cm x 63cm. Professionally restored and laid to linen.
Leicester Square, one of London's iconic landmarks, lies in heart of the West End theatre district. This poster would have been positioned in/near the entrances of Leicester Square Underground Station to orientate bewildered passengers as they emerge from the depths of Northern & Piccadilly Lines. Indeed, the escalator from the Piccadilly Line platforms were the longest on the network at the time (56 meters).
Framed within a bold red border, the design is simple yet striking. The large 'Leicester Square' roundel is in the attractive pre-war design (outline around the circle and bar) and directs the viewer to a circular topographical map showing a 1/4 mile radius from Leicester Square Station. Red dots show each of the nearby Underground station entrances (Piccadilly Circus has 9 entrances!).
Leicester Square Station is located on Charing Cross Road and was opened in 1906 on the Great Northern Piccadilly & Brompton Railway (now the Piccadilly Line) and joined in 1907 by the Charing Cross & Hampstead Railway (Now the Northern Line). Like so many GNP&BR Stations, the above-surface station building was designed by Leslie Green and bears Green's distinctive arches and oxblood tiles.
