Our Story

London Transport Academy was founded in 2018 by a group of passionate transport professionals and enthusiasts who recognized a gap in public transport education.

Having worked within Transport for London and witnessed countless confused commuters, our founders decided to create a comprehensive learning platform that would demystify London's complex transport network.

What started as weekend workshops in community centers has grown into a respected academy serving thousands of students each year.
