London Transport Museum (London) Reviews


Newest Review: ... and logic as to how and why this symbol was created is shown. An area where you sit on a bench with interactive video screens showing small featurettes about six minutes in length really do draw you in and show you the evolution of the symbol as well as the specialised font that London Transport used. It's the same amount of detail that is used in other areas as well, a good example being the Trams that were removed from London's streets back in 1952. The Museum has a couple on displays that look absolutely remarkable to see with the sheer size as both have two decks. You can jump on board these and although these don't move and are ... more

Situated in Covent Garden Piazza on the eastern side, the London Transport Museum resides in the old Covent Garden Fruit and Veg Market. The Fruit Market moved to newer accommodation at Nine Elms Lane in the late seventies and as part of the regeneration of the area the building became the London Transport Museum which opened in 1980. Twinned with the London Transport reserve in Acton the Museum is the customer facing show piece for seeing the various types of transportation that London used to have and to some extent will have in the future as the Museum covers all aspects of travel within the capital. From an historical point of view all means of transport ... Read the complete review

The London Transport Museum occupies a prime space in the heart of Covent Garden and is an attractive building that manages to remain true to the historical architecture of the surroundings, while achieving a certain degree of modern and functional design. We decided to pay a visit as my girlfriend was able to track down free corporate passes to visit this attraction that seemed like a good idea for an afternoon out in one of our favourite parts of London. Ticket prices were: adults £10; senior citizens £8; students £6.00 and children under 16 get in for free. This is a nice touch, as it means that this is obviously a perennially popular destination ... Read the complete review

I recently went to The London Transport museum on a school trip with my year 5s (age 9-10). At first I was unsure whether they would be too old for it or if the girls in particular would be bored after a while- FROM THE REACTION OF THE CLASS WHEN THEY FOUND OUT WHERE THEY WERE GOING. At the entrance we were all given a card that had space for 13 stamps to collect throughout the museum, this really kept them entertained! the stamps were in all areas of the museum which meant you were sure you hadnt missed anything at the end of the day, the way they were situated also meant that you were looking at transport through the years in the correct order, finishing with how ...

Transport is in my blood. My father was a bus driver and is obsessed by most things that have wheels and moves. Trains, buses, cars, and lorries, you name it he has videos, books and models of them. I've caught the bug and become a bit of a London Underground junkie being fascinated by the history and development of this much maligned transport system. I have become such a geek I recently took a one day course on the Art and Architecture of London Transport. This was held in the subject for this review, the newly reopened London Transport Museum in Covent Garden. I have been to a number of Transport museum such as the tram museum at Critch and the Glasgow ... Read the complete review

The London Transport Museum recently completed a large scale root and branch refurbishment and reopened towards the end of 2007. I know this because I walk past it every day on the way to work and could witness the inch by inch progress being made over the last year. The LT Museum always had a reputation as a good place to visit. One of the first museums to offer a wide range of interactive exhibits it has always been a popular attraction, enhanced by its excellent location. However, despite again working on its doorstep a dozen years ago I have never previously been tempted to visit. I mean, it's just a bunch of trains and buses isn't it and I see enough of ...
