About this space

Mail Rail is a Blank Canvas in The Postal Museum that occupies a section of the museum's original underground miniature postal railway tunnels, providing an authentic historic tunnel setting.

Design: The space is a long, narrow arched tunnel finished in glazed brick and exposed ironwork, with low ceilings and directional lighting that emphasise the tunnel's proportions.

Features: The space includes a PA system and speakers and permits guests to play their own music. The space also has on-site Wi‑Fi and air conditioning and provides wheelchair access, accessible toilets and a step‑free guest entrance.

Ideal for: Groups seeking an intimate, immersive standing reception or a focused, informal showcase that benefits from the tunnel's compact, directional layout.

What guests say: The Mail Rail ride is immersive and historically informative, and the space is well laid out and engaging for groups including children. The ride can feel cramped for taller visitors.
