Transport for LondonLondon Transport Museum
Skip to navigationThe Museum's efforts to preserve and present to visitors the history of London's public transport received a major boost in July 2003 with the award of a £9.47 million grant from the Heritage Lottery Fund.
Together with funds raised from industry and foundations, this grant will enable vital work to be carried out to improve the Museum's environment and update visitor displays. When completed in 2006, the newly renovated Museum should attract additional visitors and will serve as a focus for its pioneering outreach and education programmes.
Over 210,000 visits were made to the Museum in Covent Garden and the Museum Depot at Acton during the year, including groups from nearly 600 schools and colleges.
Over 55,000 children from every London borough participated in the Underground Schools Liaison programme. This is managed by the Museum's education department and encourages safe and responsible use of the capital's transport by London's future citizens.
The Museum Depot at Acton is regularly open to the public, giving an opportunity to see behind the scenes and participate as volunteers in the care and presentation of one of the world's finest urban transport collections.
