Support London Museum

The City of London are providing the buildings themselves and investing at least £197m to bring them back into use, and the Mayor of London has committed £70m.

London Museum has embarked on its largest ever philanthropic appeal to raise the funding required to transform the market buildings into extraordinary museum spaces for the future.

We are incredibly grateful to the generous community of supporters who have joined us on this journey so far. The Goldsmiths’ Company and its affiliated Charity, The Linbury Trust, and the National Lottery Heritage Fund have each pledged £10m becoming Founders of the London Museum.

We are also delighted to have received generous donations from the Garfield Weston Foundation and the N Sethia Foundation, both Founding Partners, alongside a number of individual philanthropists and charitable trusts who have also pledged significant support to the project. Global law firm DLA Piper is the project’s inaugural Corporate Champion.

We have committed to raising £100m from private donations to deliver this project and transform the historic Smithfield market buildings into a global-facing museum for the future.

We're also seeking funding to support the public programming, learning and engagement activities that will make London Museum a dynamic and shared space for all.

This project offers a rare opportunity to be part of the creation of a new museum for London and leave your mark on the city for generations to come. We hope you feel inspired to join us.
