About The London Museum

The new museum for London will be opening in early 2026 as a replacement for the Museum of London, which closed its London Wall site in December 2022 for the move to its new home.

The new museum will be based in Smithfield and is taking over a large Victorian market building which is being converted for the museum.

A second building, a 1960s modernist building next to the Victorian market will become home to the museum's temporary exhibitions.

The museum will be much easier to find than its predecessor and will be just a few minutes' walk from Farringdon station.
