 I saw a reproduction of this poster today in a restaurant downtown, after the Dyke March*. It wasn't the first time I'd noticed, but it always pleases me because it looks like it was designed by a go-getting young demon in some 1920s British fantasy novel that successfully blends comedy and the numinous:

Grrrreat poster! But I was surprised, because I had read recently that in the first decades of last century the Underground was lauded as a cool relief from summer heat (which is no longer the case, the source said and in fact it's now miserably hot down there).

This was the winter poster. There's a summer version as well: https://runawaykiwi.files.wordpress.com/2013/04/tube-poster-its-warmer-below.jpg
