The new face lift at the London Transport Museum has certainly given the place a whole new light - literally. No longer dark and claustrophobic but open and light and easy to find your away around.

Visiting on a Sunday during half term, there were alot of kids there, but it never felt overly packed, or even too noisy. Spread over aground floor and two mezzanine style floors, the noise gets lost in the height, and lots of specialist kiddy areas seemed to keep small children occupied and out of the way.

The cafe, whilst possibly a bit small, was well priced, and the chips, as I seem to be obsessed by, were amazing! They were chips as I remember them from my childhood, made with real potatoes and obviously twice fried. Heaven!]]> Sun, 17 Feb 2008 22:00:37 +0000 /review/uk/london/cultural/1p42m7z/the-london-transport-museum/1637h81981936983 Fimb 51.511956156098 -0.12368205366684 http://trustedplaces.com/review/uk/london/cultural/1p42m7z/the-london-transport-museum/1u6567

The museum has been very carefully refurbished and great care has been taken to display objects to their best advantage. It has an uncluttered feel compared to the old layout. It is easier to take photographs providing it is'nt a busy day. The smaller exhibits gallery will certainly make a favourable impression on visitors,particularly with the roundels tumbling from the Canary Wharf slideshow.The new layout will definitely attract more visitors The shop is stocked to cater for all ranges of taste and spending power! ]]> Wed, 28 Nov 2007 10:48:45 +0000 /review/uk/london/cultural/1p42m7z/the-london-transport-museum/1u65671357850552 Rudolph 51.511956156098 -0.12368205366684 http://trustedplaces.com/review/uk/london/cultural/1p42m7z/the-london-transport-museum/1r15a8

What a difference a little money makes :)

I remember the old transport museum as being a tad old fashioned, but the new shiny version is a pleasure to visit.

It still appeals to older people of course who remember some of the older exhibits when they ran the roads, but from November 2007 it's very much a family museum. There were kids everywhere! And the exhibits are filled with things to push, pull and ring at kiddie height level (meaning a lot of curious adults had to stoop a little).

The new space is filled over three floors filled with old rolling stock, buses, carriages and even a vintage costumed Bobby. Plenty to see and photograph for visitors to London and locals alike.

Well worth the £8 ticket, but the new shop and cafe overlooking Covent Garden are free to get into. The cafe is reasonably priced too and offers a nice vantage point to check out the markets. Best of all the cafe seats are upholstered in 'classic' underground seating fabric.

A fun day out and money well spent. Should really bring one of London's most overlooked museums back into the light.]]> Thu, 22 Nov 2007 15:10:46 +0000 /review/uk/london/cultural/1p42m7z/the-london-transport-museum/1r15a81852196631 sizemore 51.511956156098 -0.12368205366684
