About this experience
Housed in a former Covent Garden flower market, the London Transport Museum charts how the city has moved since 1800, from horse-drawn carriages and steam trains to today's Underground network. Full-size vehicles fill the galleries, including old buses, trams and tube carriages you can walk through and, in some cases, board.
The collection goes beyond the vehicles themselves. You'll find Harry Beck's original 1930s hand-drawn artwork for the Underground map, wartime exhibits covering London Transport's role during World War II, and displays on the women who kept the network running. Interactive elements include a bus simulator and hands-on galleries exploring how transport is shaping London's future.
This self-guided museum ticket gives you access to all galleries at your own pace. Expect a mix of static exhibits, working models, films and archive posters spread across multiple floors, with enough on show to fill a couple of hours in the heart of London.
What to expect
Once inside, you'll move through galleries arranged around the story of London's transport, starting with early horse-drawn vehicles and steam-era trains before progressing through the growth of the Underground, buses and trams across the 20th century. Full-size vehicles let you step aboard and see how carriages and buses actually looked and felt in different eras, while archive posters, films and working models fill in the detail.
Partway through, you'll reach the interactive sections: a bus simulator to try your hand at driving, and galleries dedicated to the women of London Transport and its role during World War II. Younger visitors can head to the 'All Aboard' play zone, while the 'Futures' gallery closes out the visit with a look at what's next for transport in London. Most visitors spend a couple of hours moving through the museum at their own pace.
