World Stamp Today
JANUARY 9, 2013
The United Kingdom's Royal Mail celebrated the 150th anniversary of the London Underground with ten stamps; six charting the history of the network, alongside a miniature sheet of four long-format stamps focusing on the design heritage of its iconic posters.
The issue date coincided with the 1863 anniversary of the first part of what came to be known as London's Underground: the Metropolitan Railway that was running between Paddington Station and Farringdon Street via King's Road.
