Corporate Membership at London Transport Museum

The London Transport Museum Corporate Membership programme has been running for over thirty years. When you become a Corporate Member, you join a group of industry leaders committed to shaping the story of transport today and in the future. Corporate Membership will enable you to build your business networks and increase the profile of your brand. It provides a way for your company to deliver against its ESG (Economic, Social and Governance) commitments and demonstrate social value. Plus, our Interchange thought leadership programme offers a platform for discussion and debate on the key transport issues affecting cities today and in the future.

A message from our Director

̒I am delighted to lead London Transport Museum as its new Director and CEO at an incredibly exciting time for the Museum as we embark on our ambitious new five-year strategy. As a charity we generate over 80 per cent of our own income each year. Your support as Corporate Members and our partnerships with the transport industry are crucial to our success and the delivery of our social and charitable purpose.

As a Corporate Member of London Transport Museum, you are joining a network of like-minded organisations committed to igniting people’s curiosity and inspiring them to shape the future. We look forward to welcoming you on board.

Interchange thought leadership

Interchange

All our corporate members are invited to our Interchange thought leadership events. Each year we host a series of breakfasts and dinner debates and workshops focused on a particular theme concluding with an annual report launch at the museum.

I really value Interchange, the Museum’s sector-leading thought leadership programme. It’s the ideal forum for leading thinkers and decision makers to discuss the challenges facing our sector and promote long-term, forward-thinking investment in transport. There is not a better place for high quality discussion to take place, than in our Museum, surrounded by the innovations of the past which still shape our city today.
