A new range of transport themed socks has been released, in collaboration with TfL, each based on a specific aspect of London’s transport. From the tube train to the tube platform edges, buses and tube lines, there are six collections in the range, from The London Sock Exchange.
The socks have been knitted using The London Sock Exchange’s 200-needle knitting process, which compares to most high streets that use maximum ~150 needles. They say their use of more needles results in a finer, stronger, more comfortable finish for the fabric. Each pair of socks also features hand-linked toes, so no nobbly seams around the toe.
The socks are available in single pairs (£12) or special edition giftboxes (£30 or £60) from here.
Dan Zell, Co-Founder at The London Sock Exchange said: “We’re really proud of the socks we’ve made – they’re full of the colour, detail and ingenuity you’d expect from a TfL service, distilled into sock form. I can’t wait to spot them in action on the Tubes and buses of London soon.”
The branding was brokered by TSBA Group, TfL’s global licensing agency.

This website has been running now for over a decade, and while advertising revenue contributes to funding the website, it doesn't cover the costs. That is why I have set up a facility with DonorBox where you can contribute to the costs of the website and time invested in writing and research for the news articles.
It's very similar to the way The Guardian and many smaller websites are now seeking to generate an income in the face of rising costs and declining advertising.
Whether it's a one-off donation or a regular giver, every additional support goes a long way to covering the running costs of this website, and keeping you regularly topped up doses of Londony news and facts.
