London Transport Museum’s purpose is to ignite curiosity to shape the future. The Museum is a charity and the world’s leading museum of urban transport. Situated in the heart of Covent Garden, the Museum is filled with stunning exhibits exploring the powerful link between transport and the growth of modern London, culture and society since 1800. Historic vehicles, world-famous posters and the very best objects from the Museum’s extraordinary collection are brought together to tell the story of London’s development and the part transport played in defining the unique identity of the city. The Museum’s collections, together with its’ lively events and Learning Programme are a window into the past, present and future of how transport keeps London moving, working and growing, making life in our city better.
