Why it's Wildland

5.8

London’s postal story is presented as a visit to the museum, with a ride on Mail Rail included on the first visit according to the museum’s visitor information.

A distinctive London museum with a visitor experience that includes Mail Rail, rather than a collection alone. Its specialist subject gives it a clear reason to visit, though the supplied evidence does not support a richer account of its exhibits or history.
