Design lovers, transport fans and, let’s face it, anybody who has ever travelled on London’s iconic transport system will be spoilt for choice this festive season with a wide range of new gifts which are exclusive to the London Transport Museum shop in Covent Garden and online.

Christmas knitwear for both children and adults, umbrellas, Elizabeth line accessories such as travel bags and laptop cases and smaller stocking filler gifts such as new decorations will go on sale in autumn for Christmas while some presents are already available for those planning ahead for the festive season.

The new striking Routemaster moquette design umbrella (£25) is sure to brighten any rainy day. The red geometric pattern was first used on double-decker bus seats in the 1950s. There is also a new purple Elizabeth line moquette design umbrella (£25) for commuters wishing to stand out from their friends and fellow passengers.

The new design of knitted Christmas jumpers (Adults £38, Children £25) decorated with buses, London Underground trains, roundel logos and Father Christmas are available in blue for kids and green for adults and are bound to win any Christmas jumper competition at office parties or impress at family gatherings. Matching bobble hats (Adults £15, Children £12) and scarves (Adults £22, Children £15) make the perfect winter warmer set.

Bring joy into your home by giving your Christmas tree a transport twist. Christmas Bamboo Roundel decorations (£6) are available in red, green, moquette patterns and there is one to match the new Christmas knitwear.  

There is also a cute knitted taxi decoration (£15), a knitted Elizabeth line decoration (£15), and a Santa felt tree decoration (£5) to add to the mix.

Children and ‘big kids’ will have hours of fun playing with any of the new wooden trains sets to go on sale later in the year. There is an S Stock Set of two wooden trains (£15), a DLR Set of two wooden trains (£15) and an Overground Set of two wooden trains (£15).

Those on a hunt for stocking fillers or small gifts will find a range of knitted key rings in the shape of a bus, Tube, Elizabeth line train or taxi (£12) and foldable bags (£10) one of which is inspired by the Underground map plus an Elizabeth line tunnelling mug (£12).

A striking ‘Straub’ moquette created by Swiss-born designer Marianne Straub – a leading name in industrial design from the 1940s to 1960s – is now reimagined in a smart matching scarf (£40) and throw (£110).
