All aboard for Christmas

Your next adventure is closer than you think – do you fancy taking a journey back in time through the original tunnels and station platforms of London's 100-year-old postal railway with special festive projections?

Until Monday 6 January, you can experience 15 minutes of immersive underground exploration on the Mail Rail Christmas Ride. There’s even a surprise or two. Are you ready?

From wartime wives wishing husbands Merry Christmas from afar, to the broadcast of the first King’s Speech on the BBC, this yuletide projection is set to get you into the Christmas spirit in a very unique way.

Remember, as part of our sponsorship deal for Mail Rail, current Royal Mail employees are entitled to one free admission to the museum (including a ride on Mail Rail). All you need to do is book online in advance and select the ‘Royal Mail staff’ option. Then on the day, bring your valid Royal Mail colleague ID.
