A visual exploration of the London Tube network, focusing on our shared and overlooked moments of recognition
The Underground is the backbone of the city of London, a part of our identity. It’s a network of shared experiences and visual memories, and most Londoners and visitors to the city will at some point have an interaction with the London Underground tube and train network. The Tube Mapper project deliberately captures moments of subconscious recognition and overlooked interests, showcasing images that can be seen near or at many of London’s Underground, Overground and DLR stations. Photographer Luke Agbaimoni gave up city-scape night photography after the birth of his first child, but creating the Tube Mapper project allowed him to continue being creative, fitting photography around his new lifestyle and adding stations on his daily commute. His memorable photographs consider such themes as symmetry, reflections, tunnels and escalators, as well as simply pointing out and appreciating the way the light falls on a platform in an evening sunset. This book reveals the London every commuter knows in a unique, vibrant and arresting style.

LUKE AGBAIMONI has an arts background with a degree in Graphic Design. He started his career as a web designer in London's Docklands, where he began taking photos. In 2010 he entered and won a photography competition run by TFL, the first prize being what would become his first serious camera, and soon embarked upon an ambitious project to map moments on the Underground, setting up the accompanying website tubemapper.com. He lives in London.
