London Transport Museum Acton Depot

118-120 Museum Way, Gunnersbury Ln, London W3 9BQ

Description

The Museum Depot in Acton holds the vast majority of the Museum’s collections which are not on display in the main Museum in Covent Garden.

More than 370,000 items including original works of art, vehicles, signs, models, photographs, engineering drawings and uniforms, form one of the most comprehensive records of urban transport anywhere in the world.

There are a number of underground carriages available for filming that include the Victoria Line (1967-2011) tube carriage with driver’s cabin access, a 1950s-present day Metropolitan line train and a refurbished Met 353 first class carriage from the early 1900s.

The carriages are excellent for internal and external filming along with a number of buses that include original posters and advertisements.

Crews have access to green room facilities, as well as free onsite parking and a dedicated onsite supervisor. Onsite power is available where possible.
