Power up for an electrifying night of science experiments, talks and creative workshops on Friday 11 November 2022 from 18:45. 

Explore the galleries, grab a drink, and discover how electricity has shaped London and its transport system through the ages - from the early days of electric travel to the oyster card revolution to travel poster designs, station architecture and visions of London’s electric future.

At the Electric Friday Late visitors can discover what a glowing gherkin has to do with the early days of electric innovation at a lively science show from the Royal Institution’s demonstration team.

They can also delve into the ways electricity has shaped life in the capital through a series of talks that explore everything from the expansion of the London Underground network to art and design, station architecture and sustainability.

In the Electric Playzone, visitors can get creative as they experiment with DIY snap circuits, try their hand at coding, and make something sparky to take away. 

An electricity themed trail will guide guests through the galleries, with the chance to win a London Underground Lightbox from the London Transport Museum shop.

Themed drinks will be available from the bar throughout the night and the evening will be accompanied by an electronic soundtrack.
