Art on the Underground was launched in 2000, with site-specific works exploring themes of community, space and place. David Gentleman's 'Cross for Queen Eleanor', for example, is synonymous with Charing Cross, while Eric Aumonier's sculpture 'The Archer' looks imperiously over East Finchley station, linking the site to its historic surroundings as an ancient hunting area.
