Transport for LondonLondon's Transport Museum
Skip to navigation << Back to indexCentrally located in Covent Garden, London's Transport Museum is not only the showcase for the capital's wide and varied traditions of transport, it preserves the statutory heritage collection and provides expertise in history, education and lifelong learning.
As well as looking after London's most unique collections, the Museum also manages brand assets like the London Underground logo, the internationally recognised Roundel, and Transport for London's huge poster archive.
During the year, the Museum in Covent Garden and the Museum Depot in Acton received over 210,000 visitors, which, although down on the year before was higher than expected targets. The visitors included groups from nearly 600 schools and colleges. Over 55,000 children from every London borough took part in the Underground Schools Liaison programme, managed by the Museum's education department, to encourage safe and responsible use of the capital's transport by its future citizens.
The Museum Depot in Acton is open regularly to the public, welcoming visitors to see behind the scenes and participate in the care and preservation of one of the world's finest urban transport collections.
The Museum has developed an ambitious and exciting plan for its future. Work is planned to begin in 2005/06 and is funded by a £9.47 million Heritage Lottery Fund grant, plus £5 million from TfL and £3 million from other fundraising activities.
