It is 150 years since the world’s first underground railway system was created. These posters are from the London Transport Museum’s exhibition titled Poster Art 150: London Underground’s Greatest Designs. (via Brain Picker)

Modern day London would never use the temperature of the underground as a marketing tool!

Some messages are more relevant today than others!

Have you seen this excellent UAL student made stop motion video?

Artography: Your Creative Inspiration Map of London

We’ve been hard at work creating an exciting new platform for UAL students to find and share your creative inspiration from across London.

It’s called Artography.

Follow the instructions to add photos of your favourite Art works, places and spaces or simply browse for somewhere new to visit or something to be inspired by.

Let us know what you think on Twitter or here on Tumblr.

Enjoy,

SUARTS :)

Paid and volunteering opportunities!

The Southbank Centre has announced plans to redevelop the skate park area under the undercroft - the beating heart of the London skate & BMX scene - to make way for more high street chain shops. We say that this is unfair, and that the skate park has been admired by passers by for years now, not to mention being a place for young people across the city to come together and doing what they love - skating.
 
The #savesouthbank campaign is fighting to preserve the skate park, and we’re looking for a passionate online campaigner, preferably somebody experienced in running campaigns on social media channels, to join the campaign team for the next one to two months. 
The ideal candidate has:
- Good all-round experience with creative software (e.g. Photoshop and video editing software)
- experience with using Wordpress as a CMS
- Tumblr / Twitter / Facebook / YouTube/ blogging experience
- Good understanding of creating online engagement 
- Good understanding of the online legal environment
If you’re interested in working with us either part of full time, or on a voluntary basis, please write to savesouthbank@gmail.com with your CV and a cover letter explaining why you want the role.

Rules for finding a seat on the train #5:

London Rush Hour..

rulesforfindingaseatonatrain:

 1. Never “save face”.

2. If you have to run, run. Own that run. You make it look like some bay watch action is going down!.

3. Imagine that you’ve just heard that your celebrity crush is dying inside that train, the only way to save them - a kiss from you.

4. Look how fast you just ran for that train.

5. You’ll thank me when you arrive on time.

*caution* over exertion can cause nausea… If you throw up it is not the fault of ‘rulesfor’.
