The Postal Museum is an award-winning, Accredited and independent museum in London. On a visit, you can experience everything from family-friendly, hands-on exhibitions to modern research facilities. You can also take an immersive ride on Mail Rail, London’s hidden underground railway, or visit Sorted, a popular children’s play space. As well as running an award-winning museum, we care for hundreds of thousands of objects and stories. Our collections tell the 500-year-old story of British postal communication and its continued impact on life around the world today. In our collection, you can find everything from vehicles, uniforms, pillar boxes and stamps to a 100-year-old postal railway and incredible stories of innovation, engineering, design and social history. We opened the museum in Farringdon, London, in 2017 and welcome over 130,000 visitors a year. The Postal Museum is the public identity of the Postal Heritage Trust, an independent charity created to protect and share our rich postal history and heritage. The Postal Heritage Trust started in 2004, but our origins date back much further.
