My children (10 & 7) were in London for five days in February. My son wanted to come here, but his older sister wasn't interested. She had to come anyway, and was the one who enjoyed it most. When you enter, the kids are given a pamphlet which they can stamp at different stations at the museum. In addition, the... more

I tacked on a stop hear somewhat last minute, but I'm so glad I did. I'm a bit of a public transit geek (love subways) so this was a perfect destination for me. It was amazing to learn about the rail history in london (like the fact that it started in the 1860's and traditional locomotives ran underground with no... more

Expensive £10 per person , for very little despite the £22 million spent on it. Far far better free attractions in London , and this one exploits the tourist location of Covent Garden as a lot has been spent on image at the expense of content. If you want London at its best visit the Science Museum for the machines... more

As a young Girl, I visited this Museum in it's original location - Clapham Bus Station and loved it! When older, I visited again after the move to Covent Garden, and have been waiting for an opportunity to go again since the Museum refurb. Owing my 4 year old Nephew a 'Birthday Outing' to rival the ones the famous 2... more

Visited this museum in Covent Garden on a February 2009 1/2 term trip to London with my teenage daughter. Some great displays on old trams, busses and underground trains, and a good section on the history of the underground during the Second World War. despite it being 1/2 term and packed with kids, still enjoyed the visit more

This is a very nice museum, especially if you have a keen interest on trains, buses and the like! Me I don't but still I didn't regrett going. First of all museum staff was a pleasant surprise. Very polite, and trying to make small conversation, thing that you rarely find in larger museums. Then,displaces are nicely setted, there is a... more

This is without doubt my favourite museum in London, illustrating how London’s many forms of transport – horse-drawn coaches, trams, trains, trolleybuses, the Tube – came to be and what it was like to use them (admittedly I am a bit of a train freak). You can climb aboard real life stagecoaches, trams and the famous red double-decker Routemaster buses... more

Located in Covent Garden the refurbished museum has some excellent exhibits of London transport past and present. £10 per adult admission fee and a nice way to pass a couple of hours. Some of the exhibits very well presented and very informative. A lot of info about the underground and some good interactive things to try and keep the kids... more

Not just for children , but for adults who are of an age to remember travelling on some of the means of transport now sadly out of service. A really good nostalgic and VERY informative afternoon. Lots of interactivity for all ages, plenty of loos and a REALLY good shop! more
