In this blog, our Director talks all things Hidden London, from the new immersive exhibition at the Museum and a brand new illustrated book, to the popular Hidden London tours of disused stations across the transport network.

We partnered up with museum freelancer Sacha Coward and invited people to use the #MyJourneyToPride hashtag to document and share their stories of travelling to Pride in London and UK Black Pride 2019. We also asked some people to record video diaries of their journeys in order to create a picture of the lived experience of a group of people from the LGBT+ community in London in 2019. Find out what happened.

Our Documentary Curators bring more contemporary material to the Museum to enrich its historic collections. Documenting transport at the Museum means working with all kinds of material, including photographs, objects, stories, artworks, sound works and oral histories.

Our Director San Mullins remembers Bryan Avery, the architect who led the design team for the extension and refurbishment of the Museum in November 2007.
