It features old photographs, newspaper cuttings, and explanatory panels. The exhibition does not aim at experts but provides an accessible overview of local transport history. The exhibition, Next Stop, is held at the Tower Hamlets Local History Library and Archives until February 2026, with free entry and various opening times.
