Talk:Piccadilly Circus tube station

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Surely "tube station" is not part of its official name. Where should this article be? Rmhermen 23:19 20 May 2003 (UTC)

Discussion of new art piece in Piccadilly Circus

[edit]

I recently made an update to this page, adding the Frank Pick memorial artwork by Langlands & Bell. These were then reverted as "plugging (my) art exhibition".

I explained to Redrose64 that I have no connection to Art on the Underground, London Underground, TFL or any other transportation body. I am merely a curious individual with an interest in the topic - and a desire to improve the wikipedia articles thereof. They suggested that "the best thing to do is to raise a thread at the talk page". '

'Ergo,' My update was:

In 2016, Art on the Underground commissioned "Beauty < Immortality", an artwork by Langlands & Bell to commemorate Frank Pick, the former CEO of London Transport, on the 75th anniversary of his death.
The artwork is located in a prominent place on the wall of the ticket hall, with a Frank Pick tube roundel and bronze lettering in Johnston, a typeface commissioned by Pick in 1915, which is still used across the London transport network today.[1] [2]
"Beauty < Immortality", a memorial to Frank Pick by Langlands & Bell

I would be delighted to discuss these improvements and other issues. 86.13.122.76 (talk) 11:13, 16 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Omission - How was the new ticket hall constructed?

[edit]

There is no information here about how the new ticket hall was constructed during the 1920s. Eg, was an umbrella bridge used as at Oxford Circus? FreeFlow99 (talk) 09:57, 29 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
