Nice variety - This is an interesting museum looking at the history of London transport from the victorians to the era of the lizzie line. There is a nice wide selection of exhibits including some which are kid friendly. Expect there to be a lot of children and families there. The gift shop has a nice variety of gifts at a mixture of prices

Very interesting. - We found the history of how London transport evolved over time to be very interesting, however, by the end I was getting a headache from all the screaming kids.

A must see Museum. - Thoroughly enjoyed this museum. Interactive for the children and fascinating to learn how the tunnels were dug back in the 1800s. Such foresight for the future.

Not worth the money. - Not great - found it to be quite boring. It was a half term day out with my 8 yr old grandson and I thought it would be interesting. Quite disappointed with the exhibits or lack of them, and not a lot to do for an 8 yr old.The downstairs restaurant didn’t have enough seating and I’m glad we took our own packed lunch as by 12.30 there didn’t seem to be enough to eat. The toilets were not particularly clean and lacked loo roll. However the staff were nice, very friendly and helpful but there seemed to be a lack of them. The whole visit lasted about an hour and that was with stopping to eat our lunch. I paid £24.00 for the two of us and I’m afraid it just wasn’t worth it, It may well just have been a bad day for the museum but I doubt I’d go back.

Horrible children - The museum is very interesting, full of great facts about London transport. It took us about 2 hours to walk around. There is lots to hop on and off. You need to buy an annual pass, but then you have tickets which is unusual but simple if you understand. It full of the most horrible children in london. You have been warned.

INTERESTING - Definitely expensive entry but inside it is interesting. Three floors starting from the first London transport to date. Always very crowded, especially with children.

Lots of broken things... again! - I've been coming here for years with my daughter. We always have a nice time, but every time we go there's something new broken and they never repair them. There were moving model trains which broke. Rather than fix them, they took the tracks away (but left the buttons, which upsets little kids). This time there was more broken again. For the amount they charge, as a central London attraction, it's poor.

Overpriced experience - Went with our 2 children aged 5 and 7. Very disappointing experience, not much to see and do and much smaller than expected. Very overpriced for what is there. Save your money and go to one of the very good free museums in London.
