About
London Transport Museum
London Transport Museum is a distinctive event venue in the heart of Covent Garden, housed within the Grade II-listed former Victorian Flower Market building. Events take place amongst the museum's historic collection of London buses, trams and transport exhibits, creating a setting particularly suited to corporate dinners, receptions, awards, product launches and experiential events.
The current 2025 venue-hire brochure confirms two principal hire propositions: the Museum Galleries, accommodating up to 600 standing or 230 for dinner, and the Cubic Theatre & Foyer, a purpose-built conference and screening facility available during both daytime and evening hours.

Facilities and Services
London Transport Museum supports corporate events with catering, event management and technical facilities, with the Museum Galleries available primarily for evening events after the museum closes to the public. The Cubic Theatre and Foyer operate independently and can therefore accommodate daytime conferences, meetings and screenings.
The combination is useful because the venue effectively offers two different products: a highly distinctive museum environment for evening hospitality and a conventional purpose-built conference facility for daytime business events.

Why Hire
London Transport Museum offers something genuinely different from a conventional central London event venue. The Museum Galleries provide an instantly recognisable setting, with historic vehicles and displays forming part of the event environment rather than requiring organisers to create the atmosphere through additional production.
It also has a strong corporate proposition through the Cubic Theatre. The 110-seat auditorium and adjoining foyer allow conferences, presentations and screenings to operate during the day, while larger evening events can make use of the museum itself. This makes the venue suitable for considerably more than dinners and receptions.
Its Covent Garden location is another major advantage, particularly for events drawing guests from across London or requiring nearby hotels, restaurants and post-event entertainment.
