About this artwork

This poster was released by London Transport back in 1968. The mastermind behind its design was Fred Millett, and the goal was to encourage people to venture out into London when night falls. Millett's collage tapped into the popular Pop Art trend of the time, resulting in a vibrant and engaging poster. All forms of London's night time entertainment like theatre, cinema, ballet, late-night shopping, restaurants, and even the city's spectacularly illuminated buildings and monuments are promoted in the text underneath. This art piece is an accurate replica of the original poster, housed in the historic archive of the London Transport Museum. Each purchase contributes to the museum's ongoing work.
