The Museum of London exhibits the history of London from prehistoric to modern times. Located on the London Wall, close to the Barbican Centre, it is part of the Barbican complex of buildings created in the 1960s and 1970s.
The museum has an extensive urban history collection with more than six million objects. It is primarily concerned with the social history of London and its inhabitants throughout its history.
The museum is a short walk from St Paul’s Cathedral and overlooks the remains of the Roman city wall and on the edge of the oldest part of London.
In 2015, the museum announced plans to move from its Barbican site to nearby Smithfield Market. The move, contingent upon funding and is planned to be complete by 2021. Check the museum’s website for updates.
