Located in the old Flower Market Building in the Covent Garden Piazza adjacent to the Jubilee Antique Market, the London Transport Museum explores the story of London and its transport system over the last 200 years, highlighting the powerful link between transport and the growth of modern London, culture and society since 1800. The museum cares for over 450,000 items - preserving, researching and acquiring objects to use in our galleries, exhibitions and other activities. As well as exploring the past, the Museum looks at present-day transport developments and concepts for urban transportation in the future, which includes a contemporary collecting policy for the benefit of future generations. The Museum was granted charitable status in 2007 which has enabled them to secure funding from new sources such as the Heritage Lottery Fund, Arts Council England, and trusts and foundations including the Luke Rees-Pulley Charitable Trust, thereby extending our learning and engagement programs. This funding enables the Museum to offer learning opportunities, skills development and engaging programming to a wide variety of audiences. Tourist Information London Transport Museum
