This illustrated talk by Merton Heritage Officer, Sarah Gould, will cover the history of the Northern Line, particularly its extension to Morden in 1926.

Discover more about the fight to get the Tube extended south of the Thames, the construction process and the architect responsible for Merton's distinctive Northern Line stations. You can also learn how the Underground became a sanctuary in wartime London and discover some amazing statistics about this popular transport service.

This event is part of our programme to mark 100 years of Merton's Northern Line stations. We will also be staging displays, walks, quizzes and children's activities at the library between 10.30 and 4.45.
