We are ready and excited to welcome back our visitors at last on 7 September 2020. Our Director reveals what to expect from your next visit of the Museum, as well as giving you tips on the best routes to enjoy spectacular London views on your way to Covent Garden.

London Transport Museum has stood proudly in the Covent Garden Piazza since it was open on 28 March 1980. Over the past four decades Covent Garden has been transformed into a vibrant quarter of London, with the Museum contributing to the distinct personality of the area.

Our Museum Late: Night on the tiles is all about the history of London’s rich nightlife from Victorian music halls and night clubs, to subcultures which have influenced London and the world. The Museum of Youth Culture will also be joining us to talk about their latest collecting project, Grown Up In Britain.
