Museum Late: Going Underground

Description

At this after-hours event, explore engineering and the London Underground.

Think like an engineer to make and race a balloon-powered vehicle, use snap circuits to explore how Tube stations are powered, and test your problem-solving skills with bridge building challenges or enjoy a programme of short talks from experts.

Experience the Museum in a relaxed, adults-only atmosphere with great tunes, pop-up bar, and the freedom to explore at your pace.

Make & race balloon-powered vehicles

Channel your inner engineer! Tap into your creativity, critical thinking, and problem-solving skills to design and race a balloon-powered vehicle. With a variety of materials to choose from, you’ll get hands-on with the trial-and-error process that drives real engineering breakthroughs.

Coding the Capital

Code for the capital city with our toy train sets! Play with the electronic Intelino trains to explore how coding can be used in automated transport and engineering, then figure out how to code the train set to find real life transport solutions.

Full STEAM ahead: engineering games

Light up London with snap circuits, construct a sturdy bridge with blocks, and tackle algorithmic puzzles that reveal the engineering principles keeping London’s transport systems moving.
VR experience: VIRTU-RAIL demonstrations

Join Transport for London’s Systems Performance Team to immerse yourself in the virtual world of London Underground.

Pop-up performances

Catch a singing performance exploring how LGBTQ+ histories were uncovered during the building of a Tube line. The performances, created by The Pink Singers in collaboration with former artist-in-residence for the new Northern Line Extension (NLE) Nina Wakeford, will imagine a ‘pinker’ history of tube tunnels, involving histories of LGBTQ+ transport workers.

Pop-up bar

Grab a drink from The Thirst Trap, who will be serving mixologist grade cocktails on tap alongside a range of alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks.
