About London Transport Museum

A striking and characterful venue in the heart of Covent Garden, London Transport Museum finds its home in London’s original flower market and offers three unique event spaces available for private hire. 

The interactive Museum Galleries can be hired before public opening for naturally lit breakfasts under the Victorian glass roof, and after hours for memorable evening events. Guests enter through the immersive World City Walkway and then have exclusive access to two floors of London’s rich transport history. Highlights include an iconic collection of red Routemaster buses, early Tube carriages and an Elizabeth Line driving experience, a truly unique backdrop for an unforgettable event. Catering, meanwhile, is handled by five of London's leading caterers who are experienced at creating flawless events and nights to remember, and trusted suppliers can be recommended by the experienced team for any additional entertainment, decor, and more. The Galleries can accommodate up to 150 guests for dinner, 200 for seated theatre events and 400 for standing receptions. 

The Cubic Theatre is a purpose-built auditorium featuring 121 distinctive moquette seats, perfect for conferences, training sessions and film screenings. A high-spec short throw projector ensures slick presentations, whilst a DCI/DCP projector and Dolby Digital surround sound offers a full cinema experience. The adjoining Foyer can be used for registration, catering and breakouts with great branding opportunities. This space is well-suited to corporate events, with all equipment supported by its in-house technical team. 

Smaller celebrations are welcomed to Canteen, which can hold up to 60 standing guests, or 50 seated. Situated at the front of the Museum, the Canteen boasts views over Covent Garden piazza and is flooded with natural daylight. Featuring decommissioned furniture from the London Underground network and the Museum’s vintage poster collection, Canteen is perfect for informal gatherings, small cocktail receptions and networking events.

Testimonials for London Transport Museum

June 2025 - Women In Transport JUNE, 2025

On behalf of Women in Transport and our members, I wanted to say a big thank you to you and your teams for the way you have looked after us this week during our anniversary celebrations.   We had a wonderful time at the Cubic Theatre, and we’ve had lots of great comments from our members on how great the venue was, including their trips round the museum itself.   Thank you for making the last-minute changes we asked for on the day and a big shout out goes to Bev and Dom who looked after us in the event space on Tuesday and Wednesday respectively. They were helpful, friendly and made our task so much easier.
