New Bus for London - Open Evenings
Date: Friday 13 & Friday 20 May 2011
London Transport Museum is hosting two free open evenings on 13 and 20 May 2011. There’s a chance to get up close and personal with the Mayor’s New Bus for London mock-up, enjoy a London Icons themed quiz and see performances by street dancers. The evenings will provide visitors with a rare opportunity to climb aboard the life-size 3D mock-up of the New Bus for London and view the interior.
No booking is required to attend the open evenings. Doors open at 19.00 and the event closes at 21.00 (last admission 20.30 on both evenings). A licensed bar will also be selling a range of refreshments on both evenings.
