Leading dance production theatre with an amazing history back to the 1690s. Everything from classical ballet to hip hop.

Mail Rail
Besides exhibits about the history of the postal service, the museum also has Mail Rail, an operating segment of a former underground railway that used to carry mail to various post offices within London.

The Postal Museum and Mail Rail are in two separate buildings across the street from each other.
