LONDON TRANSPORT MUSEUM
Go there and contact
Did you know that the London Underground runs under the foundations of buildings and not under the streets, as in Paris for example? This explains why many escalators are used to access the underground platforms. London Underground is the first train to be built underground. 2 million people use the London Underground every day and thousands scatter in the famous red buses. London's transport network is therefore a key issue, as Londoners will confirm. From the oldest subways in the world to the mythical buses, relive the history of these inventions. At the beginning of the visit, you take the elevator back to London in the 1800s, instead of the floors, the latter indicates the years you go back up. And then the route is chronological. A true journey back in time! It is an ideal museum with children. Very interactive: we get on the old buses, we sit in the old subway cars. A feminist approach is also developed throughout the museum with small panels evoking the place of women in the evolution of London's transport system by period. The problems related to transport and urban development are well addressed. Another very successful museum with reconstructions, models, clear panels for all ages. Throughout the museum, the seats are covered with the fabrics that decorate the metro lines and even the walls of the toilets take up the pattern of the different lines.
