Episode Riding the Mail Rail Under London

0:00 12:16

Bex heads to the Postal Museum in Clerkenwell, and then underneath it. Mail Rail is a tiny railway built to carry post across London, running in tunnels below the streets since the 1920s, and you get to ride through the original tunnels on a train that runs on the same track...

Up above, the museum tells the story of the post itself, and there is Sorted!, an indoor play space for children aged one to eight. A ticket covers the Mail Rail ride and a full year of entry to the museum. It is open Tuesday to Sunday, 10am to 5pm, with the last ride down at 4pm.

PLUS: a trip to the Royal Observatory Greenwich to find out exactly what is going on during a partial solar eclipse.

Find out more by searching for the Postal Museum.
