Depot Open Days: Connecting the Capital

From the arrival of the horse buses through to the opening of the Elizabeth line, public transport has connected the four corners of the capital for almost 200 years. This four-day extravaganza will give you the opportunity to explore Museum Depot in Acton, west London, with its treasure trove of over 320,000 objects. 

Tubes, trams, bicycles, buses and cable cars have all played their part in helping residents and visitors navigate the capital. Discover this fascinating story and marvel at historic vehicles which helped keep the city moving.   

Adults can test their knowledge of the capital and its transport history at our Depot pub style quiz, while families can get creative by making light up posters of London’s skylines.
