As a family of 2 adults and our 7 year old, we all enjoyed the Postal Museum. The ride in the underground system was awesome and educational. Our dsughter loved going through and dressing up, doing activities. Definitely recommend..
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.
Awesome unique experience in London!
It's very good experience for my 5yers old son.
