Underground Mania!

Have you ever realized what a wide merchandising and business is based on the London Underground?!.
I did just today, when I entered a souvenirs shop to buy something for my younger, petulant sister who will be happy to see me at Easter, depending on the size and the price of the present I am going to buy her.

Anything with the logo of the underground on it can be sold: mugs, t-shirts, pants, towels, ashtrays, bibs...ANYTHING!



These are just a few things I found in this shop called "Imperial News & Gifts" in Woburn Place, between Russel Square and Holborn.



The prices actually are pretty high as I spent 12.55£ for a t-shirt (the cheapest one) and all the gadgets were, I think, pretty overpriced.
I know that the Tube's logo is famous, attractive and very "London style" for tourists who surely spend a lot of money in these "souvenirs", but pay 10£ for a plastic bag with the tube map on it it's too much, isn't it?!?

Anyway, if it works to make the economy run in times of crisis, I am glad I gave my support to this just cause with my 12.55£.
This is the t-shirt I bought, with our beloved tube map all over it, so that, whenever my sister needs to, she can just consult her shirt and go wherever she wants...




London Underground, always with you....
