London Underground has supported Poems on the Underground since 1986, enabling us to offer poetry old and new, familiar and unfamiliar, to three million daily travellers on London’s Underground system.

Poems on the Underground started life in January 1986 as an experiment by three friends, the writer Judith Chernaik and the poets Cicely Herbert and Gerard Benson. They persuaded London Underground to post a few poems on its trains, to the delight of bemused commuters.
