A rare opportunity to see inside London Transport Museum’s Depot in Acton, West London, will take place on 22 and 23 April 2017.

Transport enthusiasts and family visitors to the Museum’s Secrets of the Underground Open Weekend will have the chance to explore this working Museum Depot, a treasure-house of over 320,000 artefacts from London’s transport history and which is usually closed to the public.

Visitors will discover more about the unexpected, the hidden and secret places of the Underground with this jam-packed weekend of activities. 

The Museum Depot will showcase a fascinating and fun themed programme of talks, interactive displays, tours and family activities including a ride on a miniature railway, a closer look at tunnelling ephemera and tours of its stunning art and poster collection.

The Museum Depot, which opens only occasionally to the public, is a hidden treasure trove of the capital’s transport history, housing a range of objects including posters, vehicles, maps, signs and models.
