No one escapes that London It is one of the largest tourist destinations in the world and that there are many places that you can visit. In fact, it would take you several weeks, or months, to visit the entire city and not miss a thing. Furthermore, with the low-cost companies You can get there in a couple of hours and for very little money, you just need to find a cheap hotel and that's it! Today I want to recommend a museum that I loved, so I hope that if you follow my advice you will like it too. Its about London Transport Museum (London Transport Museum).
It's in Covent Garden, a place where you also have a great market and many tourist attractions, so you can spend a whole day there that will have a lot to see. The museum preserves and explains all the heritage of the transport sector in London. In the building where it is, there was originally a fruit market, and in 1980 the museum was located. It has several rooms where you can see different cars and all kinds of motor vehicles from late 19th and 20th century. Trams, rail vehicles, trolleybuses and, of course, buses, without a doubt the best known transport in the city.
In one of the interactive rooms you can discover how trains have evolved from 1870 to the modern models that exist today. In addition, each room has its special “something”, such as some in which it seems that you are moving to old London with photographs, posters, local curiosities and historical films. Among some of its exhibitions you can see "the first underground in the world", "the future of transport", "London transport in the 20s and 30s", "London transport icons" or "Victorian London transport".
Of course, there is also a store where you can buy replicas of many of the vehicles you will see in the museum. There is also a cafeteria, so it is very complete. The museum hours It is from Saturday to Thursday from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. and on Fridays from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m.
