Overview
Full of light, colour and movement, the London Transport Museum explores how transport has given the City its unique identity. The collection contains a wealth of heritage vehicles, posters, artworks, photographs, film and video footage, and more.
The London Underground was a pioneering invention - the Metropolitan Railway opened in 1863, was, in fact, the world’s first underground railway. The London Transport Museum explores the story of London and its transport system over the last 200 years. The growth of transport and modern London, its flow of ideas and cultures, owes much to this incredible feat of engineering. As well as exploring the past, the Museum looks at present-day transport developments and concepts for urban transportation in the future.

Historical and entertaining
Caroline KA wonderful sequential history of transport's evolution in London, starting with horse and buggy and ending with large replicas of the vehicles referenced throughout the museum
Fun and interactive.

Fun Museum Ruined for Adults by Obnoxious Kids
Kristiew1This is a legitimate museum for all ages that has, unfortunately, been given over to young children. The exhibits are interesting and I would have liked to enjoy it more but parents bring their toddlers and let them lose their minds and scream a lot. The museum is small and crammed full with displays, so the out-of-control younglings are very off-putting.
Very minimal sights on offer
PdxFamGood for maybe 45 mins. Not much to see here. Hard to understand what you are paying for
Ideal para niños
RubénMuy buen museo con muchas curiosidades sobre el transporte de Londres. Zonas interactivas ideales para fanáticos del bus/metro.
