About

The Postal Museum

Tucked beneath the streets of London and housed in historic buildings adjacent to Clerkenwell, The Postal Museum offers a distinctive blend of underground tunnel spaces, gallery rooms, and immersive tunnels to host events like no other. With the iconic Mail Rail line beneath and an engaging curator’s atmosphere above, it brings a sense of discovery and storytelling to every occasion.

From corporate events and product launches to cocktail receptions, dinners, and immersive experiences, The Postal Museum provides both atmospheric character and modern flexibility. Venues include historic galleries, the subterranean Mail Rail tunnels, and adaptable rooms with daylight and connectivity, giving organisers multiple layers of possibility.
