BOOM FESTIVAL, 1997-2014, Oneness | Music | Arts | Environment | Culture | Love London Transport Museum | Covent Garden Piazza WC2E 7BB | Museums From the entertaining entrance, where audiovisual recordings of transport systems in New York, Tokyo, Paris, Shanghai and New Delhi, as well as London, are shown on screens, you are whisked by lift to the second floor – and back to 1800. The capital's first licensed public transport was the sedan chair, an example of which is on show, but the gorgeous horse-drawn omnibus, from 1805, its painted, flower-bordered designs announcing still-familiar routes, is a bigger draw. Progress leads you ever onwards, to the building of our first passenger railway – from London Bridge to Greenwich in 1833. The first floor of the London Transport Museum holds perhaps the most exciting displays, including the first underground engine (steam-powered) and a wooden Metropolitan Railway coach (converted to electricity in 1901); one of several exhibits you can board. A family play zone for children aged 0-7, All Aboard, features a fleet of mini vehicles to climb into and play on.

Nelson Mandela: The Long Walk to Freedom - exhibition | Belgravia Gallery | Exhibitions Time Out says Posted: Wed Dec 4 2013 As Nelson Mandela’s recent death continues to generate news coverage and the biopic Mandela: Long Walk to Freedom gathers press, this exhibition of Mandela lithographs – signed and given commentaries by the great man himself – is particularly timely. The gallery has collected 16 pieces by Mandela, including pictures of Robben Island, where he was imprisoned for so long, and a work called ‘The Hand of Africa’ in which Mandela’s handprint appears like the continent of Africa itself, plus photographs by Jergen Schadeberg of key moments in Mandela’s life.
