This was one of the earliest underground railways in the world and its evolution is placed in the wider context of urban development in Victorian London. The author provides extensive and well-illustrated technical information on the original construction as well as subsequent extensions and modifications to the line and its stations. The role of the Metropolitan District Railway in the growth of London's suburbs and the challenges of working and maintaining a busy underground railway in a densely populated urban setting are also examined.
