Location and what to expect 📍 👀

No visit to London would be complete without a visit to London Transport Museum. Nestled in the heart of bustling Covent Garden, the Museum tells the story between the growth of London and its transport system. Many familiar sights, sounds and smells that shape the Capital come from its transport. Whether that be its red buses, Underground roundel design or even the brand-new Elizabeth line. At London Transport Museum you can discover it all.

Starting with 19th-century horse-drawn buses and the first underground railway, all the way through to the latest innovations with the Elizabeth line in the Future Engineers gallery, visitors will travel through the last 220 years to hear from the people that helped shaped this great city. Little ones can explore the All Aboard playzone and have fun amongst the fleet of interactive vehicles. All the while adults will love learning about the iconic design of the early Tube logos, maps and advertising posters that are synonymous with travelling around London today.

Visit the canteen

A visit to the Museum would not be complete without heading to Canteen for a chocolate roundel cappuccino ☕️ or cupcake. Plus, a pit-stop in the shop is a must, pick up that special transport-related gift.
