[ Book of the Week - The Jubilee Line Extension ]

It's difficult to believe that the Jubilee
Line Extension has only been open for a year now.
Taking the Tube has already become a natural part of
travelling about in SE1. Yet every time I pass through
Southwark I still marvel at the beauty of the of the
station. The Jubilee Line Extension by Kenneth Powell
(Laurence King Publishing, �25) is a celebration of
this much-admired part of the London Underground. With
a foreword by Chief Architect Roland Paoletti, the
lavishly illustrated book looks in turn at each of the
stations between Westminster and Stratford. But the
book doesn't neglect service structures such as air
vents and escape shafts, including the Redcross Way
Substation. The conclusion explores the relationship
between the JLE and the places it serves, including its
role as a link to Tate Modern.

* This book is available from Amazon.co.uk at the 
  special price of �20 - a saving of �5 on the cover 
  price. See http://jubilee.se1shop.co.uk for details
