We are launching a new blog series, Welcome Aboard, to keep you updated on how the Museum team are doing during lockdown. In the first instalment, our Director Sam Mullins visits the sleeping Museum for the first time in two months.
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 Director reveals what we have in store for our visitors in 2020.
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.
Our latest exhibition Untangling the Tracks takes a closer look at the Thameslink Programme, a major project to increase capacity, improve connections and provide greater reliability on the Thameslink route. Senior Curator Laura Sleath tells us the history behind the only north-south mainline railway to cross London.
Senior Curator Laura Sleath presents some of the posters in our new Poster Parade, celebrating the 150th anniversary of the District line.
