Monday mornings on the move 🚇

This 1920 poster by cartoonist William Kerridge Haselden offered a gentle nudge to travel outside the rush, even as the Underground grew busier by the day. A century on, the message still feels relatable… perhaps a quieter journey is the best way to start the week! 🎨

Step inside the Depot this July and discover how electricity has shaped London for over 125 years ⚡

From the first electric trams to pioneering automatic trains and early hybrids, our working Depot becomes a playground of ideas, history and hands on discovery; expect iconic vehicles, expert demos and creative activities (for all ages!)

It's usually closed to the public, and only open for a few special days a year, so come and see what's been powering London 🚇
