A London museum is set to host a series of events this Easter to mark 25 years of Transport for London (TfL).

The London Transport Museum in Covent Garden will celebrate a quarter-century of TfL and 200 years of London transport history with a range of family activities from Saturday, April 5 to Monday, April 21.

The museum invites children to unleash their creativity by designing a new mode of transport to traverse the Thames, imagining their own transport network, and participating in a busking-inspired activity.

Families can enjoy the interactive session Across the Thames, which focuses on the building of the London cable car.

Children are challenged to conceive a novel means of transport to ferry passengers across the Thames.

The arts and crafts workshop Map Your City encourages families to create their own London Underground-style map, reflecting on important elements in their communities.

The lively session Mini-Buskers draws inspiration from the sounds of the Underground, celebrating London Underground's busking scheme.

Budding musicians traverse three Tube stations, playing different instruments at each stop to honour the music and communities.

The interactive storytelling session All in a Day’s Work is focused on a big red London bus.

Under-fives and their families are introduced to the various jobs required to keep London’s iconic buses in motion through stories and songs.

The museum’s award-winning galleries, showcasing 200 years of London transport history, will be open for families to explore.

Exhibits range from a horse-drawn tram to an electric bus, and vintage Tube carriages to an Elizabeth Line simulator.

The museum offers children free admission, while adult tickets provide free return entry for a whole year.

This deal allows families to revisit the museum and its exhibits throughout the year.
