About
London Museum is London’s shared place in the middle of it all.
No matter where you’ve come from, how long you’re staying for, or what side of the river you live on, we offer a home for exploration and adventure where all of London’s stories cross and collide.
At our heart we are a social history museum, we tell the stories of how London came to be, but we are also contemporary collectors, keeping our finger on the pulse. We are the world's biggest city museum.
At the core of London Museum is the London Collection, which covers 450,000 years of history through seven million objects drawn from across all 33 boroughs showcasing the lives of Londoners. It is the largest collection in the world relating to a single urban centre.
“London is a city of people. stories rather than maps will guide you. Memories, history and curiosity, too”
Gemma Seltzer, Writer
