About this experience
Famous double-decker buses, the world's first underground, omnibuses, and trams - undoubtedly, London can boast a unique transportation history. On the tour of the Public Transport Museum, you will not only see Edwardian omnibuses, Victorian trams, and the first bus models, but also better understand the English mentality. Get ready to take the wheel of a double-decker, try yourself as a metro driver, and feel the spirit of old England.
What to Expect
Victorian tram, the first underground, and double-decker buses
In the London Transport Museum, you will be introduced to an amazing collection of the city's public transport: the English, with all their meticulousness, have preserved and assembled in one place carriages of Victorian trams, omnibuses from the early 19th century, double-decker trams, trolleybuses, and, of course, buses - from the very first models to modern machines. You will trace how London and its transport system developed, try yourself as a driver of an old tram in the interactive halls, and also see 19th-century carriages used in the oldest metro in the world.
Covent Garden - a district of theatres, masons, and pubs
You will immerse yourself in the atmosphere of Covent Garden, where London's theatrical life is in full swing. Here you will learn about famous British musicals, see the building of the Royal Opera House, and discover iconic places known to every fan of English literature: the square where the heroine of Bernard Shaw's play sold flowers, the house where Dickens's literary biography began, and much more. In addition, it is in Covent Garden where you will learn the history of English Freemasonry, find ancient pubs, and listen to London street musicians.
