They don't have a casual or one time ticket so I had to get an annual pass of £25. Definitely great if you live in London and can go there to hangout whenever you feel like to, it's a fun place! I still really enjoyed seeing and learning about the changes of transportation in London.

Our visit to the London Transport Museum was absolutely fantastic — a perfect family day out that delighted all three of us!

Nice museum located in Covent Garden. Lots of information and insights into transportation that has evolved over last two centuries. Need about 2 hours to have a good view on an average busy day. Informative and fun for all ages.

A lovely museum with some great interactive exhibits for kids to enjoy. Lots of great information on the history of the rail tube and bus networks. The old poster advertisements are a lovely treat. The gift shop is a bit pricey but that was to be expected the only thing stopping a 5 star review is the entry price, this price should be halved at the very least.
