About our collections
London Museum cares for over seven million objects, including a Guinness World Record-holding archaeological archive, which showcase the lives and stories of Londoners over 450,000 years.
The London Collection is a three-dimensional, multimedia biography of the city and its people. It is especially strong for some aspects of London’s history, including but not limited to archaeological treasures, the history of work and social conditions, protest, the struggle for women’s suffrage, ceramics, fashion, photography and oral histories of Londoners’ lives.
