2024 Dinner and Auction

London Transport Dinner and Auction 2024

Guildhall, Wednesday 2 October

This October, the 18th annual London Transport Dinner and Auction takes centre stage once again, promising a spectacular evening in support of London Transport Museum.

Experience the grandeur of one of London’s historic Grade I listed landmarks as we warmly welcome you to the iconic Guildhall to celebrate the 70th anniversary of the historic Routemaster bus.

Book a table and join us for a special evening where you can connect and network with over 450 key industry guests and top business leaders, including Andy Lord, Commissioner of Transport for London and the Mayor of London at this prestigious black-tie event.

You can also enhance your brand profile on the evening by supporting one of our sponsorship packages;

  • Headlining the stylish Welcome Drinks Reception
  • Injecting excitement with the Prize Draw
  • Adding glamour with Floral Arrangements
  • Leaving a lasting impact at the Nightcap and Networking Drinks
  • Highlighting your brand through Entertainment, Table Plans, Auction Bid Cards or the Silent Auction

Each package promises unmatched visibility among leaders in the transport industry.

Your support through every table booked, sponsorship package bought or auction item donated is crucial to the delivery of our charitable work. From preserving transport heritage, to positively impacting the lives of children and young people, every contribution counts. With your generosity, we can continue delivering our essential learning programmes such as Enjoyment to Employment, which engages children and young people in STEM, transport industry careers, active travel and climate action.
