Pieces by train operators, station staff and others who keep the network running are on show at Canary Wharf until February 2027.
Artwork made by TfL staff in their own time is now on public view at Canary Wharf, in the station’s Jubilee line area. It stays there until February 2027.
The display brings together images of 80 pieces. Some are paintings and drawings, while others were made from textiles or wood.
TfL holds a staff art exhibition every year, but it is usually seen only inside the organisation. This time Places for London, the property arm of TfL, found a space so that members of the public could look at a selection of the work. The exhibition is now in its third year.
The contributors are among the people who keep the network running. Train operators have work on show, and so do people who staff the stations. A driver from Dial-a-Ride also took part. So did a member of the lost property team, who works as a Lost Property Assistant and helps reunite passengers with things they left behind.
Several artists took the capital and its transport network as their subject. One work shows a packed escalator on the Underground. Another combines the roundel with a map and a skyline. A third captures snow on the Underground, a sight that is rare now.
Away from the Tube, some artists chose landscapes and portraits. Birds and dogs feature in the display too.
One contributor recreated the canal view at the Cut in textile collage, finished with embroidery. Another produced an image of Big Ben using PowerPoint, the presentation software.
