London Transport Museum

London’s famous red buses and Underground roundel are more than transport icons. At the London Transport Museum in Covent Garden, they tell the story of how public transport shaped the city’s growth, culture and everyday life over more than 200 years. Housed in a former Victorian flower market, the museum brings together historic buses, trams and railway carriages, alongside original Tube maps, advertising posters and design objects. Visitors can step aboard vintage vehicles and discover how innovations such as the world’s first underground railway transformed urban travel. From horse-drawn omnibuses to the designs recognised around the world today, the collection reveals the people and ideas that keep London moving.
