A new collection of Transport for London-inspired socks has been launched to celebrate the capital's most iconic transport through the use of yarn.
Sock brand The London Sock Exchange partnered up with TfL to create six pairs of distinct socks.
Each pair has subtle designs inspired by the everyday sites of the transport system, from the tube to the Oyster cards, and railway tickets familiar to any regular traveller.
There's even a pair inspired by the well-loved red buses with 'The Routemaster' socks featuring loads of the buses around the sock.
Or if you're looking for a more subtle design that still shows you're love for the network, then there's 'The Platform' design that is inspired by the 'Mind the Gap' mantra with yellow and white lines around the sock.
Plus if you're a fan of bright colourful socks then you're in luck, as there's even 'The Gingerline & H&C' designs.

Dan Zell, Co-Founder at The London Sock Exchange said:
"Transport for London is such an icon of design, and working with the team over the last year on these socks has been a dream come true.
"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 socks cost £12 a pair and if you fancy wearing an iconic TfL then you can buy them via the London Sock Exchange website.
