    It was opened in 1980 and is not only in the heart of Covent Garden, but is also located within the old flower market, a Victorian-style construction of wrought iron and glass that reminds us of the train stations and markets of the time.

    Our kids love the London Transport Museum and we have included it in our list of the best museums in London.

    What to see at the London Transport Museum

    This museum is a fascinating journey through the evolution of the different methods of public transport throughout the history of London.

    You will see how the first horse-drawn carriages were used for public transport, the first double-decker buses and streetcars, and of course, the evolution of the method of transport that revolutionized London: The Underground, the first method of public subway public transport in the world that today is more than 150 years old.

    The visit starts on the top floor, and you make a very informative chronological tour, being able to get on many of the vehicles on display in addition to stopping to see photographs, old billboards and read the posters or listen to the stories of the curiosities of the transport of a city as fascinating as London.

    It is also a perfect place to take children, as they can participate in many interactive experiences, such as becoming a driver of a subway car in a simulator that goes through the tunnels and stations, or sit in the driver’s seat of a bus and try all the buttons.

    It also has many facilities for children, such as changing rooms, playground and picnic area, cafeteria… And during the weekends and during the vacation season there are workshops and activities.
