Poems on the Underground
On November 5th the museum is hosting a special evening of film, poetry and music featuring glimpses of London life from early times to the present day.

The evening will include a performance by poet and train buff John Hegley of the full version ‘Thank you London Underground’ which was written especially for the 150th anniversary and a shorter version of which is currently displayed in Tube carriages.

The evening will also feature the Apollo Chamber Players, conducted by David Chernaik, who will perform Betjeman’s London, the former poet laureate’s London poems, set to music by Jim Parker.

Tickets to the event are £15.00 (£12.00 concessions) – includes one drink after the performance and a 10% discount on Poetry on the Underground books and posters on sale during the evening.
