150 Years of London Underground
Fundraising for Railway Children
Story
To celebrate the 150th anniversary of London Underground I have embarked on a journey to visit all 368 TfL owned stations, in 2013. From Cockfosters- Morden, Ealing Broadway- Crystal Palace and Epping- Richmond! At each station I am taking photos of the station entrances and interesting features of the station. The money that I would have spent on travel I am donating to The Railway Children Charity.
The Railway Children is an international children's charity. The charity fights for vulnerable children who live alone at risk on the streets, where they suffer abuse and exploitation. In the UK, society often denies their existence, and in other countries the problem is so prevalent that it has become 'normal'.

They run away or are forced to leave homes where they suffer poverty, violence, abuse and neglect. They find themselves living on the streets because there is nowhere else to go and no one left to turn to. The problems they face on the streets are often even worse than those they endured at home. The Railway Children race to reach children as soon as they arrive on the streets and intervene before an abuser can. Their pioneering work enables us to get to street children before the streets get to them.
Whilst it was not my intention to be sponsored for my trek across London , a number of friends have convinced me to set up this page to help raise funds for The Railway Children.
