The Whitechapel Gallery is hosting a show of sketches and proposals for new public artworks that will be installed at stations on the Elizabeth line later this year. This is underground art of the future:

Tottenham Court Road is your gateway to Soho, and Gordon’s work is a big, bright reminder of the area’s neon – and perfectly seedy – past.

Darren Almond
Evoking memories of train travel of old, Almond’s work at Bond Street will feel like its always been there. Just like the M&S.

Simon Periton
Periton’s Farringdon artwork is inspired by the diamonds of Hatton Garden and the metalwork of Smithfields.
