Great museum showing how public transport has changed throughout the years. Very informative and a great place to take children. There is a café there should you need something to eat while visiting. There are some great London Transport gifts in the gift shop but they are very expensive








The museum is fascinating. It provides information on the history & transformation of public transport system in London from before industrial revolution era until today.
As London is one of the city with the best public transportation system in the world, learning about the history of their public transport system is really interesting!
We learned how advancement in technology have helped the British establish the most advanced public transport system since decades ago!

Had a great time at the free adult explorer evening, so much quieter to explore and less stressful without kids around. It's great that there's several interactive displays and a sensory room. Also that you can go on a few tubes/trains stepping back in history, and overall, the museum is great for learning for all ages of Londons history of transport. At the time, only 2 floors were open but the museum is a great location in the heart of Covent Garden.





Love this place! It’s perfect for kids as it has so much to see and do! I love how even from a young age, children can the joy this museum. The play area is great, but I really love how you can go inside trains and buses - really exciting for young ones. Definitely a must visit if you’re around Covent Garden 😌





Great insight to the London public transport through the ages, some great things for all ages to do with volunteers carrying out show and tell. Cafe on site with a good variety of products available in the shop, I'll certainly be getting something to remind my Lindon born-btead dad for Christmas something to remind him of travelling on the buses, trams and underground back in his early years. A great couple of hours spent there.





It was fun. I like the fact that you buy annual ticket and can come back more in a year if you wish. And the annual ticket isn't expensive. Also great that children under 17 can go free and people on universal credit has discount too. Well done TfL. ❤️






























The museum was great, don't get me wrong, it was only a lot smaller than expected.
We spent a lot of time reading all the signs and features of the exhibit and still it took us only 3 hours to go through it all. If you rush it, you can do it in much less time.
Recommended? Yes (and no), this museum is recommended in combination with other activities nearby like the National Gallery and if you're interested in the subject. If not, then you may better spend your time elsewhere
