Acton

Our Acton Centre, in an annex of the London Transport Museum Acton Depot, holds books, timetables and other records relating to the London area.

Both publicity and original records stretch back to the period before the creation of London Transport in 1933, with companies such as the London General Omnibus Company Limited.

By arrangement with the London Transport Museum, we also have access to detailed vehicle record cards.
