Sir John Betjeman - Metro Land

Sir John Betjeman, the nation’s best loved poet, hosts this colourful eulogy to the people and places served by London’s Metropolitan Line. As the leafy counties of Bucks, Herts and Middlesex yielded to the engines of the first steam underground, the pastoral world of Betjeman’s youth gave way to the suburban dream of the railway planners. Betjeman contrasts the old and new ways of life as he follows the Neasden nature trail, visits the Pinner village fair, plays a round of golf at Moor Park and explores the historical houses along the line. From Baker Street to the forgotten station at Quainton Road, Sir John Betjeman is your guide on an eccentric and unforgettable journey into Metro-land.
