"There's a new way for people to display their Tube loyalties* as the London Transport Museum has started selling a range of moquette doormats. Just two patterns and one roundel at the moment, but if you use the Bakerloo or Elizabeth lines, you can have a bit of seat pattern on your doorstep. For everyone else, there's the Mind the Gap in roundel form."
"All of the mats are designed for both indoor and outdoor use, so they're robust enough for muddy shoes, prams, bikes and the general chaos of city life. It's a small thing, but that's part of the charm. These doormats are a reminder that London's transport design isn't just functional, it's part of the city's personality. Because if you're going to wipe your feet, you might as well do it in proper London style."
London Transport Museum sells moquette doormats that let people display Tube loyalties. Two seat-pattern designs are available for Bakerloo and Elizabeth lines, and a Mind the Gap roundel option is also offered. All mats are suitable for indoor and outdoor use and are robust enough for muddy shoes, prams, bikes and general city life. The mats cost £25 each and are available from the London Transport Museum. The doormats reference London's transport design as a recognizable aspect of city personality. They offer a small, practical way to express line pride or vent after a bad commute.
