Visiting London in 2024 - or a resident?

Transport for London’s (TfL’s) Art on the Underground programme has announced an exciting list of artworks with major new pieces by internationally renowned artists to be unveiled throughout the year and a new art commission for one of the Underground stations at Heathrow Airport.

Art on the Underground will continue its tradition of working with contemporary artists to consider the history of art on the transport network and the collective experience of travel, through the stations themselves and the communities around them. Next year’s commissions give voice to the diversity and movement of the city today, continuing Art on the Underground’s commitment to creating meaningful and expansive dialogues with artists, publics and public space.

TfL says more people from across London and visitors to the capital are already enjoying the range of diverse artworks that feature across London’s transport network, with new ridership figures from TfL showing that that Tube ridership is now at 88% of pre-pandemic levels, with around 24.4 million journeys made each week. Specifically on Thursdays, ridership levels are reaching around four million for the first time since the pandemic demonstrating that London is thriving once again.
