In the mid-20th century, the spirit of Metro-land was remembered in John Betjeman's poems such as "The Metropolitan Railway" published in the A Few Late Chrysanthemums collection in 1954 and he later reached a wider audience with his television documentary Metro-land, first broadcast on 26 February 1973.
I midten af det 20. århundrede blev Metro-land-ånden erindret i John Betjemans digte, så som "The Metropolitan Railway" udgivet i A Few Late Chrysanthemums-samlingen i 1954, og senere nåede han et bredere publikum med sin fjernsynsdokumentar Metro-Land, der blev sendt første gang 26. februar 1973.
