Today we took Mom and the kids to the London Transport Museum.

It’s at Covent Garden, and is a fun place, but with the exposed metal and the multiple school groups, it tends to be a little loud. Still, it’s worth it, and it’s not like noise is NOT part of the experience of public transportation.

I think my favorite part was the room devoted to transportation advertising and design. The Underground and the rail system has had an amazing history of getting great industrial design, and even if their work isn’t always brilliant, they’re trying hard.

Indeed, the whole museum is beautifully designed, and works very well.
