OPENING 2026

The Museum of London is a spot in the city that tells the story of London from way back in prehistoric times to the modern day. It's all about the social history of the city and its people, with tons of artifacts like Roman statues, Elizabethan jewelry, and even contemporary stuff like the Whitechapel fatberg. The museum used to be at London Wall but is moving to Smithfield Market for a big reopening in 2026. So, if you're into history and want to learn more about London's past, this place is definitely worth checking out!
