The London Underground Museum is actually called the London Transport Museum

The London Underground Museum

The London Underground Museum is actually called the London Transport Museum. Some people wrongly believe that the London Transport Museum exclusively focuses on the Underground, which is why they may be unaware of the museum’s true identity.

The London Underground is well-known around the world, thus travellers will often be aware of it. It’s easy to overlook the fact that London buses (the iconic London Buses) are part of the London Transport system.

The London Transport Museum’s webpage can be found here.

The London Transport Museum

The London Transport Museum, as its name suggests, displays the history, artefacts, and information from the London Underground (or tube), trains, buses, DLR, trams, and other forms of public London transportation.

Vehicles, Photographs, Posters, People, Artwork, Maps, Signs, Ephemera, Drawings, Film & Video, Sound Recordings, Archives, Infrastructure, Equipment, Vehicle Parts, Models, Relics, Technical Documents, Tickets, Timetables and Uniforms are all part of the museum’s holdings.

The London Transport Museum is a “not for profit” subsidiary of Transport for London that operates autonomously. You can get to the website by clicking here.

The London Transport Museum Shop

The shop at the London Transport Museum sells a variety of official and limited-edition Transport for London items. These are available to purchase online or in the Covent Garden shop. For the transit enthusiast, posters, novels, children’s toys, and homeware are ideal. You can also acquire genuine signs, textiles, and railwayana if you are a huge lover of London Transport.

The shop is free to enter and is located in front of the Museum in Covent Garden. Visitors to the shop are not charged entry to the museum. Souvenirs, designer presents, furniture, special moquette accessories, London-themed literature, and posters are available on two floors.
