Step inside the Museum of London for an unforgettable journey through 450,000 years of the capital’s history. Prepare to rethink what you know of the world’s greatest city at the museum that tells the fascinating story of London through the ages – for all ages!
Discover the city in prehistoric, Roman, medieval and Tudor times, before you roam the streets of Victorian London in our immersive recreation, and learn how the capital continues to make history in the 21st century with a visit to the 2012 Olympic Cauldron. Plenty of historical adventures await families at the museum as well, with free activity sheets, arts and crafts workshops, walks exploring the Great Fire of London, and much more!
Be sure to also check out our programme of free temporary displays while you’re at the museum including Dub London: Bassline of a City, our new display celebrating the cultural and social impact that dub music has had on the identity of London and its people (until 5 Sep 2021). Entry is included with a free museum general admission ticket, which you can book in advance online.
The Museum of London is located in the oldest part of the city with a range of arts and culture right on the museum’s doorstep – St Paul’s Cathedral and the Barbican are only a short distance away. Museum opening times are from Wednesday-Sunday, 10am-5pm, but please check the website for details of when we’re open during holidays and half terms.
