Entertaining - Cool museum, with a great flair. Lots of fun things to do for kids and adults. Captivating stories about the history of transportation. The only downside is the constant noise.

Great value for money trip in a museum you could easily spend all day in - The TFL museum at Covent Garden is a magnificent walk thru of the history of transport in London with loads of hands off (and some off) trams, buses and trains as well as a pictorial and interactive histories. We have a fabulous tour of the photographic exhibition by David who was, and which was, outstanding.

Interesting few hours - Visited the museum as my ASD child has an interest in trains. They thoroughly enjoyed the train simulator and saw the trains & underground carriages from the different times. I enjoyed listening to the musicians playing.

Nice place to visit - Pre booked tickets for this while up town with friends. This is a nice little museum plenty To see and worth a visit I would personally say you need a couple of hours to see it all, shame they don’t have more vehicles To see but do have some nice ones there and space is the main problem I’m guessing.

Great for kids - A good museum with plenty of interactive exhibits telling the story of public transport in London from early 1800s to today. Not for a serious transport nut as mostly aimed at younger audience and kids. Visited during school holidays and was like a crèche - upon entering there were over 30 prams parked just inside entrance, like little kiddy land - they were having a great time and everything accessible to them but for just adults interested in more technical check out something else. At the price for an adult it didn’t feel like value. Fully recommend for families with under 15s. Great gift shop with TfL themed merch.
