Victoria Line Tiles

The Victoria line was built in stages from 1968-1971. As stations opened, each platform was given a different tiling motif, located within seat recesses and designed by various artists. We looked at a couple of these designs in our Secrets of the Victoria Line video, but here - Geoff travels to all 16 stations again to look specifically at each tiling pattern and uncover its meaning, as some are less obvious than others. Also, note that Geoff IS wearing the same light blue t-shirt he wore in the Victoria line video -- just underneath a dark blue shirt. Also, the shade of blue on the captions is also the appropriate colour. Secrets of the Victoria Line: There’s also a dedicated website at: And there’s some more info from a TfL document here:
