Request for Book Advert Photos at Train Stations
Hello everyone,
I hope you’re all doing well! Today, I’m reaching out with a rather unique request that I believe could benefit both me and my students. As a secondary English teacher, I’m always on the lookout for innovative ways to inspire my students’ creativity and help them develop their skills. Currently, they have an exciting assignment where they need to design a promotional poster for a book.
While we have plenty of resources online, I’ve found that searching for real-world examples of book advertisements—especially those displayed in train and tube stations—has proven to be quite a challenge. As I do not frequently use public transportation, I’m missing out on this fantastic source of inspiration that our urban landscape has to offer.
If any of you happen to frequent tube or train stations, I would be incredibly grateful if you could take a few photos of any book adverts you come across. This real-world context could greatly enhance my students’ projects and provide them with the motivation they need to bring their ideas to life.
Thank you in advance for your help! Your support could make a significant difference in the classroom.
Best,
[Your Name]

Furthermore, sharing your students’ work — whether digitally or through local community exhibits — can foster a stronger connection between classroom learning and the vibrant cultural landscape of London.
Good luck with your project, and I hope this helps inspire some innovative ideas for your students!
London’s Vibrant Book Advertising Scene
As a fellow London resident and avid user of our city’s extensive public transport network, I completely agree that station-based book adverts are a fantastic resource for inspiring young minds. These advertisements often showcase innovative design and can introduce students to diverse genres and publishing styles.
Here are a few points to consider that might add value to your project:
If you’re able to take photos or even share some examples, it would truly enrich your students’ understanding of commercial art and advertising strategies. Plus, engaging with real examples brings a tangible connection between classroom learning and the vibrant London environment we all experience daily.
Wishing you and your students a creative and inspiring project!
