London Transport Museum Late: ‘London Calling’

Friday 6 October 2023

18:45 to 22:00

London Transport Museum is throwing open its doors after hours to students and newcomers to the Capital. The Museum Late event, ‘London Calling’, is taking place on Friday 6 October. Tube fancy dress, a scavenger hunt, workshops, tours, drinks and music are just a few of the things on the programme.

In-between activities attendees will be able to explore the Museum after hours. ‘London Calling’ offers a chance for students and young adults to meet new people and discover things to do in London. Opportunities to explore careers will be available.
