London Transport Museum - This is all in the air..

This is all in the air
Did you know that on the first day of lockdown in March last year, air pollution halved? 

Last week, we launched a new report exploring how cities need to change and become more sustainable in order to protect its citizens and the planet.

Inspired by the report, we’ve been taking a look at sustainable and green travel in our collection - from how designers from over 100 years ago imagined London today, promotions of different ways to travel including walking and cycling, to innovative solutions introduced across the transport network in recent years.

In 1926, Montague B. Black shared his vision for the city of London in the year 2026. He envisaged the city full of skyscrapers, and the skies filled with flying vehicles including blimps, air taxis and planes.
