When the Tube closes down at the end of the day the bus rules the night. Come and party like it’s the top deck of the N23 at our Friday Late devoted to celebrating all things bus. Bob Stanley of Saint Etienne will be on the decks, and there will be bespoke bus cocktails on offer, as well as a fully stocked bar. Create your own bus destination blind travel card holder or magnet with experts from The Crafthouse, dip into our selection of talks, meet Emma Hignett, the voice of London’s buses and battle for supremacy in our bus trivia pub quiz. Make sure you are ready to paint the town red in style with a trip to the Lipstick and Curls vintage beauty parlour, and create your own balloon powered bus to take home.

We are also pleased to welcome MTA Arts and Design, the New York equivalent of Art on the Underground, who have a new book out; co-author Sandra Bloodworth will be on hand to sign copies. Outline Editions will be selling limited edition prints of their new bus inspired oyster card wallet designs, with artists signing a selection. And printmaker Paul Catherall will be with us for the launch of his new print series featuring the New Routemaster bus –special edition prints will be on sale. Finally, we will be launching a special edition gin, made by the East London Liquor Company, for London Transport Museum. All aboard for a night to remember!
