What's on
- Make & race balloon-powered vehicles
- Tap into your creativity, critical thinking, and problem-solving skills to design and race a balloon-powered vehicle. With a variety of materials to choose from, you’ll get hands-on with the trial-and-error process that drives real engineering breakthroughs.
- Coding the Capital
- Code for the capital city with our toy train sets! Play with the electronic Intelino trains to explore how coding can be used in automated transport and engineering, then figure out how to code the train set to find real life transport solutions.
- Full STEAM ahead: engineering games
- Light up London with snap circuits, construct a sturdy bridge with blocks, and tackle algorithmic puzzles that reveal the engineering principles keeping London’s transport systems moving.
- VR experience: VIRTU-RAIL demonstrations
- Join Transport for London’s Systems Performance Team to immerse yourself in the virtual world of London Underground.
- Pop-up performances
- Catch a singing performance exploring how LGBTQ+ histories were uncovered during the building of a Tube line. The performances, created by The Pink Singers in collaboration with former artist-in-residence for the new Northern Line Extension (NLE) Nina Wakeford, will imagine a ‘pinker’ history of tube tunnels, involving histories of LGBTQ+ transport workers.
- Pop-up bar
- Grab a drink from The Thirst Trap, who will be serving mixologist grade cocktails on tap alongside a range of alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks.
- ‘Drive’ our buses and train
- Fancy playing train driver? Hop into the driver’s seat of our Elizabeth line train simulator - and don’t miss this chance to climb on board many of our historic vehicles.
- National Railway Museum’s People, Pride and Progress
- Learn about People, Pride and Progress, a project recording the stories of LGBTQ+ rail workers led by the National Railway Museum. Do you know somebody who would be interested? Stop by for a chat!
