London Transport Museum

For every great transport idea, there are ten bad ones that are usually more exciting to look at. And the London Transport Museum has plenty of vehicles that look like they were dreamed up by Homer Simpson after eating Guatemalan Insanity Peppers.

But it also has the regular exhibits that are pretty cool too – like horse-drawn omnibuses, London Underground trains and vintage red double-deckers.

There are around 150,000 things to marvel at in total, all split up into different exhibits that each tell a different story. Take a look back to the first half of the 20th century at On The Surface (1900-1945) where you’ll find trams, trolleybuses and the first motor buses, before going full steam ahead into the future at Future Engineers which tests your skills solving modern day engineering problems.

All Aboard is a favourite with the little ones, with its mini vehicles for kids aged 0-7 to play in, while Legacies: London Transport’s Caribbean Workforce celebrates the huge contribution that people of Caribbean heritage have made to British transport.

There’s something for everyone at the London Transport Museum. Just keep your hands inside the vehicle at all times.
