This one includes a description of London Transport's involvement,
especially maps of Festival bus routes, and also the Underground with
station names marked incl. many that have now gone such as Trafalgar
Square (remember that?).

Well, it's not really gone, just merged with Charing Cross.

Pigeons were becoming a nuisance in Trafalgar Square, so the name was changed to stop them finding
their way back.
