The metro can rightfully be called a "cultural cauldron", in which hundreds of thousands of representatives of various segments of the population, subcultures and fields of activity "melt" every day. And, by the way, from metro photographs alone, you can create a certain picture of a particular city and its inhabitants. And looking at these pictures taken by Bob Mather in the London Underground in the 70s and 80s, you can also look into the British capital of that era.
