The London Transport Museum is situated in the heart of Covent Garden. It explains and conserves the heritage of London’s transportation, telling its story over the last 200 years. 
You can learn about how London’s basic transport system functioned in the past, the arrival of the world’s first underground railway, and how transport is intricately linked with London’s transformation and expansion.

This is one of our favourite museums in London and it is truly fascinating seeing how important transportation has been to London’s evolution. 

The London Transport Museum is enjoyable for visitors of all ages with many interactive exhibitions, as well as actual buses and underground trains dating back over 100 years.

Individual tickets purchased for the museum are valid for unlimited visits for the named person during one year.

It’s been about six weeks since the end of my Disney World International College Program contract and I thought I’d write a retrospective piece summing up my experience. I’m going to very quickly get those of you who didn’t read my blog up to speed. Hi, I’m Gio from the UK and this Summer (2013) I participated in the International College Program at Walt Disney World. I was an attractions cast member working at Mickey’s Philharmagic and Prince Charming’s Regal Carrousel in the Magic Kingdom. My program was about ten weeks long and I successfully completed it. I had already done one set of working for Disney back in 2011 at Disneyland Paris and I suppose to some extent I expected my ICP to be very similar, but longer.

London: Things to do and Events in February Chinese New Year Image: Paul (Flickr) 18th February 2018 Although Chinese New Year itself is on the 8th February in 2016, the celebrations will be held on the subsequent weekend.  You can celebrate the start of the Year of the Monkey all around the West End with events held on Trafalgar Square and Chinatown from 10:00 to 18:00. London’s Chinese New Year celebrations are the largest outside Asia, with parades, performances and fireworks.  At 10:00 a large lion parade makes its way from Trafalgar Square to Chinatown; from 12:00 onwards stage performances are held; and at 17:20 the grand finale begins as dancers and acrobats take to the stage, and pyrotechnics illuminate Nelson’s Column.
