Museum of London
About

The London Museum, currently preparing for its grand reopening in West Smithfield in 2026, will continue its mission of charting the vibrant history of London and its people from prehistoric times to the present day. Formerly located at London Wall, the museum utilized diverse collections and engaging exhibitions to bring the city's past to life. Visitors could journey through Roman Londinium, experience the tumultuous medieval era, witness the devastation of the Great Fire, and explore the ever-evolving modern metropolis. Through archaeological finds, social history objects, art, and interactive displays, the museum illuminated the key events, cultural shifts, and everyday lives that have shaped London. It explored the stories of its diverse communities, their resilience, and their contributions to the city's unique character. While its London Wall site is now closed, anticipation is building for the reimagined London Museum at its new location, promising an even more dynamic and comprehensive exploration of this extraordinary global city. In the meantime, the London Museum Docklands remains open, focusing on the history of the port, trade, and migration that have been integral to London's story.
