London Transport Museum

　　    London Transport Museum (London Transport Museum) is located in Covent Garden, the capital of the United Kingdom, London. Established in 1980, it is a museum themed around the development of public transport in London. From September 2005 to autumn 2007, the museum was temporarily closed for extensive renovation work. The refurbishment was completed in 2007, and the museum reopened on November 22, 2007. In addition to the main museum site, London Transport Museum also has a branch at Acton called Acton Depot.

　　    The main building housing the London Transport Museum was originally a flower market structure, built in 1872 as an elegant Victorian industrial building. Between 1978 and 1979, the building underwent major renovations and was completed in 1980, becoming the main site of the London Transport Museum.

　　    London Transport Museum houses a large collection of public transport vehicles from different eras, including a wide variety of buses, taxis, trolleybuses, trams, and even railway carriages. Other exhibits include various posters, reference books, and staff uniforms, among others. Due to limited space within the museum building itself, not all items can be displayed on-site. The vast majority of the collection is stored at the Acton Depot branch, located west of central London. The depot spans 6,000 square feet and holds up to 370,000 items, with many large exhibits displayed there.
