A museum about the history of post in the UK, with interactive and immersive displays. Its highlight is the Mail Rail – a small train running underground, originally used to transport mail across the city, which you can ride as part of your visit and learn about its history.
Aside from that, the museum is interesting but some of the exhibits feel a little bit dated (and I’ll be honest, by the end I found my interest in the postal service being stretched a little thin…). But overall, it’s a decent, engaging museum which sheds a light on an interesting history, including many aspects of post I’d never thought about before.
