Transport Museum open days at the Acton depot

A block of 10 days where the Transport Museum's main storage depot in Acton is open to visitors.

Usually open three weekends a year, this school holidays opening is to give more time for socially distanced visitors.

Tickets cost £15 for adults and £7.50 for children – Ealing, Hounslow and Hillingdon residents will enjoy a special 1/3 off local resident discount.

The Depot houses most of London Transport Museum’s extensive collection – over 320,000 artefacts from the Capital’s transport history. The new summer season has been designed especially for families, giving them the chance to explore this rarely seen transport treasure trove during the summer holidays after months in lockdown.

Follow a family-friendly trail on a journey through the Depot to discover the stories of historic vehicles which served passengers over the last 200 years. Children will also get a special craft pack and take-home activity to support their learning in fun and curious ways.

Timed tickets for Wednesday 19th to Sunday 23nd and Wednesday 26th to Sunday 30th August 2020 must be booked in advance.

The London Transport Miniature Railway will be open, with passengers able to travel on replica models of vintage London Underground trains used on the Metropolitan line between the 1920s and 1960s. Tickets to ride on the Miniature Railway will be available to purchase separately on the day using contactless payments.
