Discover the history of London’s transport, explore the capital’s heritage, uncover stories of those who travelled and worked in London over the past 200 years, and see how technology is shaping the future. Visit London Transport Museum in the heart of Covent Garden. Explore the powerful link between transport and the growth of modern London since the 1800s. View sights like the world’s first underground steam train and the electric tube railway.
Winner of two Best Museum of Gallery for Groups awards, groups will love the internationally recognised icons on display.
Historic vehicles, world-famous posters, and objects from the Museum’s collection tell the story of London’s development. Discover the roots of London transport’s iconic brand. Enjoy interactive exhibits such as a tube driver training simulator.
Trace the history of transportation from horse-drawn buses to the world’s first underground railway. Learn about the creation of the Underground map and take a stroll through colourful displays that show how transport sustains London.
Admire collections of posters and graphic art such as the famous bullseye tube logo and the diagrammatic tube map.
Discover the power of the poster in the new permanent gallery. Opened in October 2023, the gallery is dedicated to the history of commercial poster art and design.
