Diamond Geezer has been publishing a series of blog entries covering Metro-land. The series starts here. It’s well worth reading his entries. And what is Metro-land, I hear you ask? It was the area of London served by the Metropolitan Railway (the first steam underground railway in the world). It has a fascinating history of social change and architectural styles. And now DG tells us that BBC Four will be screening the wonderful documentary about Metro-land made by Sir John Betjeman in 1973 next Monday evening to celebrate the centenary of Sir John’s birth. I’ve reserved my seat on the sofa.
