Zoom Beneath London on the Miniature Mail Rail Train!

#londontrips #london #uk #museums Tucked beneath London’s bustling streets, The Postal Museum is a treasure trove of quirky history and hands-on adventures—far from your average museum. Whizz through secret tunnels on the Mail Rail, a miniature train once used to shuttle 4 million letters daily, or geek out over the world’s first stamp (the iconic Penny Black, 1840!). Kids can play postal detective, sorting pretend mail and designing stamps, while adults marvel at tales of Victorian-era spies and wartime heroics carried out by… the postal service? Why visit? - Unusual history: Discover how mail shaped Britain’s wars, social revolutions, and even romance (love letters, anyone?). - Hidden tunnels: The Mail Rail’s 100-year-old network feels like a mini underground theme park ride. - Family-friendly: Interactive zones beat screen-time—kids leave buzzing with stamp-designing pride! 📍 Address: 15-20 Phoenix Place, London WC1 🚇 Nearest Tubes: Farringdon (5-min walk), King’s Cross (15-min walk) 🕒 Open: Wed–Sun, 10 AM–5 PM 🎟️ Tickets: £18.50 (Kids under 3 free) ⏳ Tip: Pre-book Mail Rail slots—they sell out fast! 🌟 Allow 2–3 hours for exhibits + ride.
