One of London’s more unique museums recently opened after a two-year and £22million renovation. One week ago today, the completely re-designed museum opened to the public. If you’re at all interested in the systems that make up London’s public transportation infrastructure (trains/tube, buses, trams, etc.), then it is certainly worth a visit!

Here are photos of just some of the new exhibits:

If you’re not all that interested in the museum, but instead just want to relax for a bit, you can do so in the museum’s new cafe:

The building itself is in the heart of the Covent Garden area, and used to house the Covent Garden flower market. This is what it looks like when you get there!:

Again, if you’re interested in public transport, I highly recommend a visit!
