London Transport Museum - Kids go free

Description

Spend the day finding out about the rich, exciting and incredibly interesting history of London’s transport system. The London Transport Museum is a treasure trove of information, historic vehicles and artefacts, satisfying those with an interest in engineering, design, history, industry and so much more.

Get full access to each of the galleries at the museum, as well as entry to any temporary exhibitions when you visit. Explore the transport history of 19th century – a time that began with most people travelling on foot and, due to so many innovations in the century, ended with railway, road and river travel being commonplace.

Find out more about when the London Underground ran on steam, how London’s suburbs developed due to transport innovations, the expansion of the tube and the part the underground had to play during WWII. Design lovers can also explore the posters and maps that have made The London Underground into the design icon that it is today.

Art Deco: The Golden Age of the Poster Design
This new exhibition marks the centenary of the 1925 Paris Exhibition and explore how art deco has made its mark on London transport’s art and design heritage. See unique artworks that have never been displayed to the public and explore the modernist architecture of Charles Holden with his exceptional Tube station designs. 

Then and now: London’s transport in photographs
The London Transport Museum has partnered with Anne Maningas, a photographer and train driver for this brand new exhibition. Marking the 25 year anniversary of TfL, admire a display of 40 photographs that document the lives of Londoners as they travel across the capital and the transport workers that keep the city moving.
