What’s red, very old, and adored by kids? The answer’s either “Santa Claus” or “Vintage buses”, and you can see both at London Transport Museum this Christmas.The museum promises a bevy of family festivities when it reopens on 3 December, including a winter trail, weekly prize draws, and visits from a socially distanced Santa. Also, on 12 December, the museum will host an Early Explorer morning for children with special education needs, including Autism Spectrum Disorder. Families can catch a new display of “stunning seasonal transport posters depicting the magic of London during wintertime”. You can even step inside one of them – an iconic 1980s poster ‘Cold Winds Do Blow’ by Brian Grimwood, which features roundel-shaped snowflakes. A good one for Instagram.Entrance to the museum also includes a chance to see the new transport at war gallery, and the excellent Hidden London exhibition, which should have ended by now, but has seen a welcome extension.Upstairs, the museum’s exceptional cafe will serve mince pies and hot chocolate (with mulled wine for the grown-ups). Oh, and don’t forget the shop, which is always a winner for novelty Christmas gifts on a transport theme. See AlsoHow to keep the family safe on public transport
