Lots of people that have been to London will be aware of the TFL museum on Covent Garden, but fewer will know about the depot museum a few minutes walk from Acton Town tube station. It's only open a few weekends a year, and a couple of special occasions. It's about the size of a small Aldi/Lidl/Tesco's (supermarket of your choice) superstore. I'm not a train nerd - I couldn't tell you the difference between one train and another - but have always had an interest in London Transport over the ages. It was open the other weekend when I happened to be in London, so got myself a ticket and had a wander around. Lots of signs, tube carriages, buses and behind the scenes operations gear. If you're in or around London, and have a bit of an interest in transport history, it's a decent day out. Here's a few I took with my 1dx2 and either a 50mm 1.2, 11-24mm, or 70-200mm. It might bring back a few memories for those of a certain age. (With a 6 pic limit - I'll pop up two posts)

I think these are great it must have been a very interesting visit, I am quite envious
 
It is a really good set in its own right but for that kind of location/setting/environment it really is very well done indeed, you have captured the essence of a transport museum with out lots of clutter and distracting elements. Inspirational, thanks for sharing
 
Nice set of an obviously interesting place - thanks for sharing. :)
 
Great set ;) It's a super place to visit. So much of those images remind me of my childhood!
