Why donate?

We are an independent heritage and education charity and we need to generate over 80% of our own income every year.

Donate today and help us to:

  • Care for our world-leading collection and globally recognised icons including locomotives from the world’s first underground railway, the Roundel, Tube map, Routemaster bus and Black cab
  • Ignite children’s curiosity in the world of transport and STEM
  • Deliver vital employability and skills programmes to get young Londoners back on their feet with job opportunities and apprenticeships in the transport industry

Help us restore the last Q stock

Help us raise the £200,000 needed to keep our restoration on track and get the last 1930s Q stock cars running again.

With your help we can complete the restoration of three Q stock cars and tell the transport story of:

  • Life in wartime London, sharing the story of evacuation in 1939
  • The rebuilding of London in the 1940s
  • The growing optimism and prosperity of the 1950s and 1960s.
