Step by Step

Discover the fascinating history of the British postal service at the Postal Museum in London, revealing how this institution changed the way the world communicates. From early delivery systems to modern postal services, every corner of the museum is full of curiosities and anecdotes that will make you look at letterboxes in a new light.

One of the museum's biggest attractions is the Mail Rail, an underground train that used to travel through secret tunnels under London to transport letters and parcels at high speed.
