London Transport Museum

Museum • London, England

Go on a fascinating journey through London's transport history with many interactive exhibitions, which will entertain both children and adults. The museum was opened for the first time in 1980 and underwent a massive renovation between 2005 and 2007.

There are many rail and road vehicles on display as well as various multimedia materials (films, photographs, plans, drawings or posters) concerning transport. There's even a family zone for the youngest children with mini cars that they can climb on and other "toys" that will keep them busy.

There are many interesting exhibitions organised at the museum so be sure to check the official website before your visit so you would not miss something that might interest you.

Spectacle, Sin and Uproar: A Self-Guided Tour of Covent Garden

Covent Garden's history is woven into the very fabric of London's identity. On this self-guided walking tour, you'll discover the surprising origins of this world-famous district, uncovering a past filled with bustling markets, theatrical scandals, and revolutionary policing innovations that lie hidden beneath the touristy veneer. You’ll explore the elegant piazza designed by Inigo Jones in the 1630s as London’s first formal square, and wander through the market building where fresh produce was traded for over 300 years. You’ll find out how the aristocratic vision for the area gave way quickly to a vibrant market culture that defined Covent Garden for centuries. I’ll tell you how the area transformed from daytime marketplace to London’s most notorious red-light district after sunset, with taverns and brothels earning it the nickname the “Square of Venus.“ You’ll also hear stories about famous actors, writers, and musicians who lived and worked here, from Charles Dickens to Mozart.
