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.
