Metro-land

BBC One
on BBC One London

The first of three favourite films by Sir John Betjeman Tonight he celebrates suburbia in a trip along the Metropolitan Railway.
'Live in Metro-land' was the slogan. It meant buying a new house in the desirable residential suburbs that sprang up alongside the Met. John Betjeman finds homes of sin and mystery in St John 's Wood, a nature trail in Neasden, and London's answer to the Eiffel Tower in Wembley; a ladies' luncheon club in Harrow, and revels in Croxley Green. An instant classic (OBSERVER)
