London Underground has launched a detailed design manifesto drawn up by Studio Egret West.

The fully illustrated 225-page guide, called Station Design Idiom, highlights examples of best practice taken from the network鈥檚 long history.

It also sets out nine design principles that will be applied to every future project, from small-scale repairs to major refurbishments and new stations.

The principles will ensure stations are developed and built with uniformly high standards of design, retaining and celebrating individuality and local character while forming part of a cohesive network, said Gareth Powell, London Underground鈥檚 director of strategy & service development.

The guide includes advice such as using glazed frontages to let natural light into ticket halls; maximising heights to create a greater sense of space; and creative use of materials to 鈥渃reate atmospheric and not sterile spaces鈥�.

David West from Studio Egret West, said: 鈥淲e are delighted to be involved in the London Underground station design idiom project at such a pivotal point in the network鈥檚 evolution and to receive recognition for it already.

鈥淣ot since the days of Frank Pick has there been such an opportunity to holistically rethink the network鈥檚 design approach.鈥� 

An exhibition of the Idiom is on at the Platform gallery behind Southwark Underground station. It can be viewed by appointment by emailing designLU@tfl.gov.uk
