										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Charles Holden&#8217;s designs for the London Underground from the mid-1920s to the outbreak of World War II represent a high point of transport architecture and Modernist design in Britain. His collaboration with Frank Pick, the Chief Executive of London Transport, brought about a marriage of form and function still celebrated today. Pick used the term &#8216;Medieval Modernism&#8217; to describe their work on the underground system, comparing the task to the construction of a great cathedral. </p>
<p><i>London Tube Stations 1924 &#8211; 1961</i> catalogues and showcases every surviving station from this innovative period. These beautiful buildings, simultaneously historic and futuristic, have been meticulously documented by architectural photographer Philip Butler.</p>
<p>Annotated with station-by-station overviews by writer and historian Joshua Abbott, the book provides an indispensable guide to the network&#8217;s Modernist gems. All the key stations have a double page spread, with a primary exterior photograph alongside supporting images. A broader historical introduction, illustrated with archival images from the London Transport Museum, gives historical context, while a closing chapter lists the demolished examples alongside further period images.These stations, as famed architectural historian Nicholas Pevsner later noted, would &#8220;pave the way for the twentieth-century style in England&#8221;.</p>
