Mail Rail and the Postal Museum: plan the ride and the galleries separately

The Postal Museum and Mail Rail offer two different ways into London’s communications history. Read the admission and access details for the ride, not just the museum’s name.

Other ways

Know where each part is

The visitor experience occupies sites around Phoenix Place.

Check the museum’s map and the booked arrival information before choosing a meeting point; a gallery visit and a train boarding have different practical needs.

Read the ride’s requirements

Mail Rail uses a confined underground environment.

The operator’s access and evacuation guidance matters when deciding whether it is suitable. Do not assume that access to the galleries establishes suitability for the train.

Compare the actual ticket

Check what the chosen admission includes, the ride allocation and any separate children’s activities.

This guide does not quote an unverified offer or promise a particular ticket’s validity. No ride, reservation or access assessment has been completed for this article.
