I loved this museum! The exhibitions were very interesting and full of fun facts. The rail mail is also worth a visit, the ride was very well made and entertaining.nI am a big snail mail fan, so I found so many treasures in the gift shop. Lots of beautiful postcards and stationary items. You can also ask the staff to sell you stamps if you want to write postcards and mail them there. It is a must see for any snail mail or post fans!
Really nice museum. I highly recommend to visit. You can learn not only about history of postal in England, but also how much respect workers have to their workplace. Part of exhibit is multimedia elements to play and have fun with.nAlso really nice shop with some souvenirs.nnIn my opinion order of sighstseeing might be switched - first the museum, then the ride - it would be like cherry on the top. Now, you get the best experience at the beginning, so the rest is not so exciting.
We loved this place. The train ride is fun and so are the interactive exhibits.nnThe cafe is nice. There is a gluten free wrapped snack bar available, but the gf baked goods were on the same plate as gluten items when they should be kept completely separate and preferably wrapped to avoid cross-contamination.nnThere are lockers to use 1£ to get the key out and the money is returned when you retrieve your items. The restrooms are clean.nnThe displays in the museum are modern and interesting- about pirates and gun fights and a woman going through the pneumatic chute. Uniforms to try on and you can create a postage stamp with your face on it.
One of the most educational visits I have been on in London. Great for the kids and a fantastic story into the Royal mail past. From the very start to the closing down a few years ago.nStaff so helpful and informative; they look like they enjoy their jobs.The museum is very well laid out with plenty of activities for children big and small to participate in all inclusive of the price. Make this a must thing Todo on your next visit to London
Really fun time at this museum. Went on the Mail Rail first and then the exhibit.nnExhibit slightly smaller than I expected but still well displayed and interesting.nnMail Rail is a little tight if you’re claustrophobic but the top is clear plastic. It’s an amazing ride through the old tunnels with interesting narration.
