The Postal Museum
The Postal Museum is based in City of London, Greater London, and offers a professional and friendly team to help you have a great time and enjoy the experiences available.
Before pinging inboxes and text messages, people actually had to wait for a mailman to deliver their news. Get back to communication basics at The Postal Museum. Uncover the story of the postal system and even see letters recovered from a shipwreck!
From five-wheeled cycles to rockets and an escaped lioness, the story of the postal service is long and full of incredible tales.
At The Postal Museum in London, see a restored mail coach that once thundered across the country. Get up close to the world's only sheet of Penny Black stamps, the world's first postage stamps. Send anonymous messages to a friend (or stranger) through pneumatic tubes, and see a horde of unread love letters recovered from maritime misfortune.
Explore one of London's hidden gems, The Postal Museum's Mail Rail – a 100-year-old subterranean network of tunnels now open to the public as a 15-minute miniature train ride.
Forget what you think you know about the post and get ready for a surprise or two!
