So super excited off we went on Saturday to Covent Garden, to a museum I had not been to for ages, for decades even and couldn't wait to see P's reaction to the buses that she always calls out too, "mama..BUSSSSS". 

We get to Convent Garden, inside the arcade bit and I drop my DSLR. The lense comes off and I cant put it back in. Crest fallen we proceed as P is non the wiser to the mini disaster that has happened to me and hubby is asking me to keep it together. Keep it together!!! how much the fook is this gonna cost us to repair it!!

Five mins later we are in. Me with a slight pout on me and a tad on the expensive side, £32 for Hubby and me, P goes free, but apparently we have exactly a year to go back again and again. Hubs and I agree on a mental note on exactly when! because, actually. the London Transport Museum seems like a really good child friendly place. In its chaos of children every where, the LTM did not feel like a place that would make you want to take up smoking again and go outside for a break from all the madness. I found the info surprisingly fascinating, and it was one of those moments where I really feel that I am not from UK, All this history is not my heritage. My heritage is my Grandfather working in the pampas in Chile in the railways. This history belongs to my daughter, her Great, great Grandfather worked as an engineer for the buses in East London. Its something I cant share with P but doesn't change  how much of a Londoner I feel. 

Looking at the old machines and photos was bliss for me, am I a geek!  Each exhibition section was well thought of and interactive. P who is only two seemed to get it all.

The ground floor was the best of all with all the space and a special kids section and they had a creative section where us three created a London landmark with shape cut outs which Hubs and I took a bit too seriously. 

We popped out for lunch as we were able to come go out and come back in again. The cafes seemed okay, nothing fancy, but not sure if that should be improved or not, as would that be just another expense. 


Hubby wasnt so enamored with the Museum shop, but I didnt mind it so much, but yes, this was on the expensive side, but it wasn't so tacky!

Definitely recommend LTM but maybe bring pack lunch or "sneak out" for a bite to eat.
