The London Museum
Important note: The Museum of London is closed until 2026 for relocation.
This repository’s miraculous cache of rarities from everyday life has been going in one form or another since 1823 and its collection would do credit to the greatest national museums of any land. But in December 2022, it closed its home of 46 years in preparation for an upgrade to a lavish new facility in the historic Smithfield General Market, by the Farringdon Underground stop, where it will reopen as The London Museum in 2026. For now, only its East London spinoff, Museum of London Docklands, is open.
