Reminder:
If you find yourself in the London area I strongly encourage you to see the LT Museum firsthand. Their current exhibit is titled Surburbia: from homes to gnomes, how public transport shaped the suburbs. It is open until March 31st, 2010. Additionally, there are holiday events scheduled during December.
>> Visit the museum website for more information. And psst… they are now on Twitter (@ltmuseum).
