Our charitable aims

Every purchase in our shop supports London Transport Museum’s charitable work. 

London Transport Museum is the world’s leading museum of urban transport and an independent heritage and educational charity. 

We conserve and share our transport and design collections to ignite curiosity and create positive change. With the expertise and ingenuity of our people and partners, our museum is helping to shape the future. 

We rely on support from individuals like you to deliver our work, including: 

• Creating memorable experiences that connect people and places

• Giving young people skills for the future, confidence and opportunities to fulfil their potential

• Preserving the stories and objects that connect us with London's transport and design heritage

• Working together to make greener choices

Make a donation  

Own your own small collection of transport history that’s gathering dust? Want to share it with the world? Consider donating part of all of your collection to the Museum to help us educate and inspire our visitors. Whatever you donate will be preserved by professionals and revered for generations.

Sadly we cannot accept every gift that is donated to us and therefore some items may be declined. For more information on our collections policy click here.
