A Brief History Of Moquette

It's instantly recognisable, many a Londoner has got up close and personal to it and it's an integral part of the capital's transport history. But how much do you actually know about moquette?

Moquette Man, Andrew Martin, visits London Transport Museum to give us a brief history of the iconic fabric used to upholster seats across London's transport network. Find out much more about moquette in Andrew's book, Seats of London.
