SUBTERRANEAN LONDON - What You're Overlooking
Iro Mavrogeni - London September 2009 Hello there,
my name is Iro,
I am currently studying in my Master degree in which I am investigating subterranean London, how much people know about it and how I can make people aware of it. The aim of my project is to create visual material that is going to inform pedestrians about the city underneath.
It is quite a short questionnaire, partly multiple choice, partly writing short answers.
It would be great, if you could help me out...
http://tinyurl.com/hidden-london
This isn’t a commercial project in any way and anything I will write and do is strictly used for my MA Thesis.
Thank you very very much!!!
Iro
----------
Iro,
It's David here. I'm sure the Sub T. guides will be willing to lend a hand. Do you want to write back and we can take it from there? |

Sandra - DUBLIN, IRELAND June 2007 We turned up on a miserable wet Sunday morning to meet Peter G, our guide for the tour - he called it "liquid sunshine". Well, he wasn't far wrong because we forgot the terrible weather as he guided us through the tour in a very entertaining and informative way. The stories he told were really interesting and the whole experience was very worthwhile - all for £6.
For those who wish to do further tours there is a £1 option at the end of the tour which means that you can do further tours for a reduced price, so that can't be bad.
Highly recommended - wear comfortable shoes and bring wetgear. |
