Did you know that London has a secret underground mail rail and you can actually ride it? Mail Rail is 70ft (21m) under the ground and it transported letters across London for 75 years.
Did you know that London has a secret underground mail rail and you can actually ride it? 🚂📮@The Postal Museum Mail Rail is 70ft (21m) under the ground and it transported letters across London for 75 years 💌 It closed in 2003 and re-opened to the public as a visitor attraction in 2017. 💡As the Mail Rail is a popular attraction, we collected some tips to make the most out of your experience and avoid the crowd and school groups 🔗 LINK IN BIO #mailrail#postalmuseum#dayoutwiththekids#kidsactivities#hiddengem
Explore a hidden railway that once transported millions of letters across London every day.
The Mail Rail was originally established in 1927 to transport mail beneath London for a smoother and quicker service. It was operating for 75 years and moved 4 million letters daily. The tunnels closed in 2003 but opened to the public as a visitor attraction on the 4th September 2017.
Photo: Urban Adventurer
Today you can actually ride on the mini trains and discover the tunnels and platforms once people relied on to deliver their letters before the emails and Internet.
As the Mail Rail is a popular attraction, here are some tips to make the most out of your experience and avoid the crowd and school groups:
Photo: Urban Adventurer
A standard ticket to the Postal Museum gives you unlimited access to the museum’s permanent exhibition for a full year! Plus, one ride on the Mail Rail.
NOTE: The Mail Rail and the Postal Museum exhibitions are in two separate buildings on Phoenix Place. The buildings are just one 1-minute walk from one another connected by a zebra crossing.
2. Do the Mail Rail ride first and visit the exhibition in the other building later, so you’ll have enough time to see everything.
Photo: Urban Adventurer
3. During your Mail Rail ride, the train will regularly stop at stations where you can see projections on the tunnel walls. Sit in the middle of the train for the best view and use a sideway-facing seat if you can.
Photo: Urban Adventurer
4. Be prepared for having to leave you bag in a locker before boarding. There’s not much space on the mini train, so the staff will ask you to leave your bag (regardless of its size) in the locker. Don’t worry, your belongings are safe! The staff will lock the locker and members of staff are always right next to the locker to keep an eye on everything while you’re enjoying your ride.
5. Make sure you visit the Mail Rail exhibition after your ride. It’s in the same building and contains a lot of interactive elements kids will enjoy, including the moving travelling post office where they can race against the clock to sort mail and a full control panel where they experience what it takes to keep a 10km of line running.
Photo: Urban Adventurer
6. After your ride on the Mail Rail and visiting the Mail Rail exhibition, walk to The Postal Museum’s other building to visit their permanent exhibition. Remember, your ticket gives you access to the exhibition for a whole year, so if you don’t have time to do it today, you can come back any time for 12 months from the purchase of your ticket.
Photo: Urban Adventurer
7. Try all the fun, interactive panels and elements during your exhibition journey. You can write a secret message to a friend and sent it through the pneumatic mail system. You can also try on replica uniforms from the Post Masters wardrobe.

8. Make sure you stop by at the museum café before leaving for a coffee and a sandwich or a cake and have a look around the shop because there are lots of exclusive gift ideas for kids and adults alike.
Mail Rail Venue Hire

The Chimney Lift, however, is more than just an elevator!

Your experience starts right at the entrance where you enter a light-up turbine to undergo a quick airport-style security check. It was the most Insta-worthy security check we’ve ever experienced.

After the security check, your real journey starts with a very interactive exhibition.
Photo: Urban Adventurer
Did you know that Battersea Power Station was designed by architect Sir Giles Gilbert Scott, the same architect who designed the iconic red telephone box?
The exhibition re-creates Sir Giles Gilbert Scott’s London office featuring a desk, photos, objects, books, and – of course – blueprints of the Power Station.
Photo: Urban Adventurer
There is a touch-activated wall that shows how the power station was built, how it was damaged during the world wars and how it supplied electricity to London’s most famous buildings, including the Houses of Parliament and the Buckingham Palace.
Photo: Urban Adventurer
Hear the telephone ringing on the desk in the other room? Pick it up and learn more about Battersea Power Station and how it operated during its golden years.
Photo: Urban Adventurer
Light up the huge chimney decoration above your head by playing the maquette of the Power Station!
Use the joystick to collect and deliver coal from a boat to the Power Station, turn the valve handle to pump water into the boiler, control the steam flow, release the energy, and hit the big red button at the right moment to power up and watch the chimney light up above your head.
Photo: Urban Adventurer
Test your knowledge at the quiz panel or use the tablet to see how the Power Station’s Art Deco Turbine Hall A looked like decades ago.

Make sure you arrive at least half an hour earlier than your time slot to have enough time to explore the exhibition and grab a drink (and some snacks).
Visiting with kids? Kids activity packs also available to the bar.

Now, you’ll take an elevator and go up to 12 floors, climb 39 steps (accessible route available) and step inside the chimney lift.

Brandish your invitation card and step into the world of Jane Austen.
Just a few minutes walk from Oxford Street, this new attraction is created by the Jane Austen Centre in Bath.
First the gift shop opened in November 2025, followed by the permanent experience this February.
What to Expect From the Jane Austen Experience
Photo: Urban Adventurer
The Jane Austen Experience is taken place in an elegant three-storey building, off Oxford Street on 11 John Prince’s Street and it will bring you all the charm, wit, elegance and romance of the Regency England.
Your journey starts in the very moment you step into the gift shop on the ground floor.
Actors and actresses greet you as you step in, all in costume portraying a Jane Austen character from one of her books, so you’ll instantly feel like you’ve been stepped into her world.
Photo: Urban Adventurer
You’ll be then invited to the waiting room on the third floor, where – while waiting – there are numerous activities to choose from.
You can create fun sentences in the style of the 18th-century England, using the worlds on a magnet board, or pick an activity sheet and test your knowledge about Jane Austen and her novels, do word search or colour a Jane Austen duck.
Shooting piano and violin music helps you immerse more into the Jane Austen universe.
Dress Like Your Favourite Jane Austen Character, Smell Perfumes, and Write a Letter with Quill
Photo: Urban Adventurer
When your session starts, you will be escorted to another room resembling to the inside of an 18th– century church.
You’ll sit on the wooden bench and one of the actors will talk about Jane Austen’s family and shares festinating stories about her family members. Some of the stories show great similarities to Jane’s novels.
You’ll learn about Jane’s relationship with her siblings (she was very close to her brother Henry and sister Cassandra).
Photo: Urban Adventurer
Next, you’ll be visiting the dressing room where you’ll have the opportunity to try Regency-style costumes. You can pick your dress or suit, your bonnet or top hat and fan or tie and you’re ready for a photo in front of Pemberley and gaze the freshly painted charming portrait of Colin Firth as Mr Darcy.
Photo: Urban Adventurer
There is information scattered around the room about how men and women dressed in the Regency period, what they wore during the different seasons and how to tie a Cravat (men’s neckband).
Photo: Urban Adventurer
Ladies can also learn the secret language of the fan.
Photo: Urban Adventurer
In the next room you can learn how to write with a real quill and ink and marvel at a replica of Jane Austen’s traveling writing desk.
Photo: Urban Adventurer
One of our hosts told me that the desk had a secret chamber where Jane often hid the pages of her novels she was writing at the time because the society very much frowned upon a woman using her imagination and writing fictional stories.
Photo: Urban Adventurer
I thought, writing with a quill would be very difficult, but to my surprise, I found it easy. Be prepared, however, because it can be really messy as the ink can easily drop everywhere if you don’t pay close attention. All my respect to Jane Austen who wrote all her novels with quill and ink!
How Did Jane Austen Really Look Like?
Photo: Urban Adventurer
Your next room is the wax room, where you can meet Jane herself.
Although, the appearance of Jane Austen is still speculated and debated (that’s the reason, there’s no wax figure of her at Madam Tussauds), this wax figure is probably the closest to how she would have looked like.
Our only clue is an unfinished portrait of Jane, drawn by her sister, Cassandra.
The wax figure standing here has been created with the help of Forensic artist, Melissa Drin, who trained in Washington with the FBI. Her sources were the unfinished portrait by Cassandra, a stipple engraving from 1870 and written descriptions of Jane Austen’s contemporaries. Melissa Drin also looked at the other members of Jane’s family, looking for facial features that were recurrent in each of them, especially their nose.
The statue is featuring Jane Austen in her mid-twenties or early thirties when she was living in Bath. The dress was made by costume designer, Andrea Galer who’s made costumes for film adaptations, including Mansfield Park and Persuasion. The hair and hair colour has been created by artist Nell Clark who previously worked for Madam Tussauds.
While in the room, stop for a second to admire the wallpaper because it’s the exact pattern, Jane had in her room in Chawton, Hampshire.
The wallpaper was preserved and later discovered by accident when Jane’s brother, Edward, bricked up a window in the family drawing room to provide more privacy from the street. Centuries later, the window was uncovered revealing the original wallpaper with that botanical motif featuring a burgundy vine and a warm yellow background.
Photo: Urban Adventurer
Now, time to try some biscuits and smell some perfume from the Regency period.
The biscuit didn’t have much taste and that’s because sugar was still a very expensive ingredient in the 18th century. It was something that only the wealthiest could afford, just like tea. Tea was so expensive, by the way, that the lady of the house often kept the key to the tea box on her necklace to prevent the servants from stealing.
Because it was so expensive, tea leaves were used many times until the tea tasted almost nothing but water. Then, the leaves were gifted to the servants.
Photo: Urban Adventurer
As personal hygiene was still pretty much an issue at the time, people used strong perfumes to mask the smell of their bodies. You can smell three different perfumes people used in the Regency period.
There also wooden games on the table you can try and play.
The map on the wall showcases all the places can be linked to Jane Austen, including Drury Lane theatre and London’s oldest tea shop, the Twinings’ that Jane often visited when in London.

Although Jane Austen never lived in London, she often visited her beloved brother, Henry, who was living under 10 Henrietta Street at the time. During her stay in London, Jane loved exploring the city’s most fashionable districts, theatres, bookshops, and shops.

The capital often appears in Jane Austen’s novels, although she often depicts it as a place of vanity, frivolity and vice. In real life though, Jane loved the city and enjoyed visiting very much.
Your experience ends on the ground floor at the gift shop where you can find everything Jane Austen related from beautiful special editions of her books to jewellery inspired by her characters, special Jane Austen 250th anniversary merch and more.
Book your ticket on the Jane Austen Experience’s official website.
Adult: £19.50

HERstorical Tours have just launched their new theatrical walking tour in London: Magic, Mystics and Martyrs.
Prepare to embark on a spooky journey back in time to the darkest shadows of London’s history and explore the ghosts of witches, mystics, rebels and phantoms. Some lesser-known women whose names have been erased from history for their beliefs, powers or simply for knowing too much.

Magic, Mystics and Martyrs is not an ordinary walking tour!
Expect costumes, street theatre and engaging performances to bring the past to life and help you immerse into the shadowy side of herstories.
Maria, your tour guide, and her helpers bring you for a journey you will talk about long after the tour.

You’ll learn true stories about the forgotten women in history, including an infamous phantom lady of the Financial district, a satanic noblewoman, a rebellious martyr, prophets who were labelled as crazy and women who lost their heads and endured gruesome punishments for their knowledge, faith, or even their bravery.
What image come into your mind when you hear the word ‘witch’? Is it an ugly old woman with a hump on her back and a sharp chin who is expert in making potions? Well, that universal image came from a woman born and lived in a cave.
Do you know where does the saying “swears like a fish wife” comes from?
You’ll learn all these stories and more if you book HERstorical Tours’ new tour, Magic, Mystics and Martyrs.

The stories will be told with powerful live theatrical elements, wit and drama and some dark feminist humour where appropriate.
The tour blends the right balance of respect and entertainment with the aim to educate on sensitive historical subjects.

The tour ends at the Hung, Drawn & Quartered pub near Tower Hill station, where you’re most welcome to join Maria and your fellow tour mates for a tipple or two.
About HERstorical Tours
Photo: Urban Adventurer
Founded and led by women, HERstorical Tours has been created to tell the lesser-known stories of women in history.
Women’s voices were often deliberately silenced and when they spoke out or behaved in a way that wasn’t accepted by patriarchy, those women were labelled as hysterical or mad and faced punishment or even execution.
HERstorical Tours – instead of doing the same old walking tours in London – tells the unusual and uncharted stories of history about women from the perspective of women.
HERstorical Tours are NOT just for women! Everybody who are interested in the hidden nooks and crannies of the city are welcome to join.
Click here to discover all the tours currently running in London.
This tour and all the others are also available to book on FEVER.
Ready for your next adventure? Harlots & Strumpets & Tarts, Oh My!Is one of HERstorical Tours’ most popular tours. You’ll be lead through the gin-addled streets of the 18th-century London and hear stories about high-class courtesans, Madams, corrupted country girls and women who ended up in the gutter.

You will even meet the friendly Avorians, have a chat with them and teach them things us humans do on Earth, such as how we greet each other with a handshake, how we dance or how to tell a joke.
In return, they’ll teach you how every living creature is connected on AVORA and why it is so important to protect this paradise from human exploitation.
Fully Immersive Rooms, Themed Cocktails and Immersive Theatrical Experience

Your journey starts at Roscorp Laboratories where you will don your jumpsuit and listen to an introduction.

During the experience, you’ll receive three themed cocktails.
Your first cocktail – instead of being presented as a ready-to-drink concoction -, you’ll be given a selection of drinkable elixirs in lab test tubes and a glass to mix your own cocktail.

A host will give you all the instructions you need to blend your cocktail which does not only magically changes its colour but also contains a magical ingredient, called ‘luminol’ that will help you breathe AVORA’s air which is very different from Earth’s.
Next, you’ll step through a magical portal that instantly teleports you to Planet AVORA. Here, you’ll have time to explore the lush greenery and waterfalls while sipping your next cocktail.

To reach the next room, you’ll need to cross a narrow bridge dangling above a dangerous misty river.

On the other side, an interactive wall awaits that produces a beautiful tapestry of colours and patterns upon your every move.

Leaving the interactive wall behind, you’ll find yourself under a huge illuminating tree which branches delicately cascading from the above creating the perfect Pandora vibes.

Enter the hidden cave to grab your third cocktail. It’s a vibrant orange one that glows in the dark and has tapioca pearls in it.
This is the room where the story of AVORA reaches its peak and you’ll get to decide whether you want to exploit the planet or help Avorians to protect it agains human destruction.
Your journey ends where it began: at Roscorp Lab.
Plant a Tree with AVORA

Similarly to Pandora, AVORA is also a beautiful but fragile world that deserves to be preserved and protected. A unique planet where all living creatures are connected to each other, creating one neural network allowing one another to share memories, and wisdom by connecting with the souls of ancestors.
Just like Pandora and AVORA, Earth also needs protection.
That’s why they have woven the message into the storyline in a very subtle and beautiful way.
Plus, AVORA has partnered with Ecologi, a UK environmental organisation, and they plant a tree with every ticket sold.
To help reduce carbon footprint, AVORA experience is also sustainably led.
