At first glance a museum of London Transport may not look terribly interesting, but if you want to wallow in a little London nostalgia or if you have children in tow you can easily spend an enjoyable couple of hours here. The mainstay of the collection is its handsome historical hardware - evocative old double-deckers, the earliest horse-drawn London buses, a steam-driven train that ran underground (and managed to consume its own smoke) and so on. However, it is also very much a hands-on museum, with lots of activities for children and adults. You can ring bells, clamber on vehicles and if you think you could have driven the bus or underground train as well as the driver who brought you here, then take the simulator controls and find out.
