Furniture inspired by London’s transport system is now available to purchase – but shoppers have been left shocked at the price.
The London Transport Museum’s store offers a range of homeware with some furnishings costing more than £2,000.
Listed on their website as a “popular product”, a three-seater Farringdon sofa, which takes its name from the famous London station, is priced at an astonishing £3,000.

But a black side table embellished with the TFL logo is sold at a fraction of the price and comes in at £250.
As well as chairs and tables, mugs and oven gloves are also available to Tube lovers.
Some items can be picked up for as little as £10.
The made-to-order pieces are created with the same materials that are used for the seats on London’s Tube carriages.
According to the website, the cushions are “upholstered with the same moquette fabric used on London’s buses, trains and tubes”.

But some internet users were stunned to learn that people like to decorate their homes in this way.
A Reddit user attracted attention when they shared an image of a sofa set in a post, as reported by What’s The Jam.
They joked: “Buying the Elizabeth line sofa set is absolutely insane.”

Other viewers were quick to comment on the image – and some loved the idea.
One person wrote: “Ok it’s going to be a stupid amount of money but omg the purple.”
Another added: “I would buy that in a heartbeat if I could – that one and all the other lines.”
“Where can we find this… monstrosity,” asked someone else.
A fourth viewer said: “I’d consider getting that cushion. But not at 200?!”
“On the other hand you have the excuse to never have to clean it. You know, to be authentic,” wrote another user.
