London

The Experience

Discover the story of the capital through something Londoners and visitors use every day: its transport network.

London Transport Museum in Covent Garden brings more than 200 years of London’s transport history to life, exploring how buses, trains, trams and the Underground have helped shape the city. From historic vehicles and instantly recognisable designs to the people, engineering and ideas behind the network, there’s plenty here to fascinate transport fans, London lovers and curious minds of all ages.

Even better for a family day out, under 18's go free, making it a brilliant way to spend time together in the heart of London.

Why They’ll Love It

London Transport Museum is about much more than getting from A to B. It tells the story of London itself, how the city grew, how people travelled through it and how clever engineering and distinctive design became part of everyday life.

Visitors can get close to historic transport, discover the evolution of the Underground and explore the visual identity that has made London’s network famous around the world. The Museum’s collection also celebrates transport art and design, including the poster heritage associated with London Transport.

It’s the kind of place where different generations find different things to enjoy. Children can be captivated by the vehicles and hands-on discovery, while adults can delve into the history, design and stories behind a transport system they may have used hundreds of times without ever really thinking about it.
