Poems on the Underground

Poems on the Underground was launched in 1986. The programme was the brainchild of American writer Judith Chernaik, whose aim was to bring poetry to the wide ranging audience of passengers on the Underground. In 2000, more than 3.5 million journeys were made each day.

The tenth edition of "Poems on the Underground" is available from London's Transport Museum shop which also sells copies of the poem posters.

Users can access the archive of poems previously published on the site.
