Plan your school visit

Find the information you need to plan and book your visit to London Transport Museum in Covent Garden or the London Transport Museum Depot in Acton, west London.

London’s world-famous public transport system has been keeping the city moving throughout the lifetime and reign of Queen Elizabeth II.

This year, the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee also coincides with the opening of the capital’s newest railway, the Elizabeth line.

Celebrate this royal occasion at London Transport Museum - and also enjoy our May half-term wheely creative activities while you’re here - a perfect day out for the whole family!
