What an amazing way to understand some of London’s history. Would recommend to families young or old. The train ride through the tunnels built in 1927 is beyond exciting, and will delight even the most grumpy of souls

Loved it! Was amazed to travel below London’s streets in train tracks that only a few are aware of. The ride, the multimedia show and the history was very nicely done. Thoroughly recommended for history and transport (and of course mail) buffs! Fun time with my kid as well.
