tbh i don't think they ever sold those officially, it was a TFL campaign thing so they just put them up in stations. your best bet is ebay or maybe check the london transport museum shop in covent garden, they sometimes have old campaign prints but it's hit or miss. i've seen people sell knockoffs on etsy too but the quality's not always great
The London Transport Museum does have a print shop on their website, and they occasionally run limited edition reprints of old campaign artwork. I'd check there every few months because they tend to drop things without much notice. Otherwise, I've seen a few decent reproductions on Redbubble from people who scanned the posters in stations, just read the reviews carefully before buying.
yeah those were never actually for sale, it was a public art campaign thing. if you really want one, your best bet is probably finding a high-res image online and getting it printed yourself at a print shop - plenty of places in london that do poster printing for like a tenner
What are some innovative ways to anonymously compare rental prices in a city?
SpareRoom's "rooms wanted" ads are underrated for this. people post what they're currently paying alongside what they want next, so you can scrape a rough sense of going rates by postcode without anyone knowing you looked. it skews young and flatshare heavy tho, so not much use if you're after 2-beds in zone 2.
Another one is just the depozit or tenancy deposit scheme data. not public-facing, but your council's housing officer can tell you median rents from deposit registrations if you email them under FOI. takes weeks, but its proper anon and nobody clocks u.
Rightmove and Zoopla only show asking rents, which are often 10 to 15 percent above what a place actually goes for, so they're a poor benchmark. The trick I've used is the ONS Price Index of Private Rents, which breaks things down to borough level and is genuinely anonymous since it's aggregate data, no listing or account needed. For something more granular, the London Renters Union runs a rent reporting tool where you submit what you're paying with your postcode and it maps it against others nearby, though the coverage is patchy outside the inner boroughs.
the openrent "rent check" thing is decent for zones 3-4 where the unions tool barely reaches. also worth checking the london.gov.uk planning portal for new build applications, they list "affordable" and market rent figures per unit in the viability assessments, which is basically the developer telling the council what they expect to charge. bit of a faff to dig through but its public, anonymous & nobody knows ur looking
