Sir John Soane’s Museum going tickets only from August

Your guide to London's culture and transport news and events taking place across the city.

It’s a compliment of sorts when your museum is so popular that it has to stop allowing people to just turn up and visit.

That’s the curse of the Sir John Soane museum which has been seeing the queues outside getting progressively longer and longer, to the point where they’ve given up the unfettered access.

From 1st August, you will nee a timed entry ticket to go into the museum.

While that pretty much kills off the “wandering around the area and might pop in”, it does mean for the considerably larger number of people who make a special trip to the museum, they wont have to stand outside any more.

The museum will continue to be open Wed-Sun, and closed on Mon/Tues.

Although entry is free, they are asking for a suggested donation of £10.

SUPPORT THIS WEBSITE

This website has been running now for over a decade, and while advertising revenue contributes to funding the website, it doesn't cover the costs. That is why I have set up a facility with DonorBox where you can contribute to the costs of the website and time invested in writing and research for the news articles.

It's very similar to the way The Guardian and many smaller websites are now seeking to generate an income in the face of rising costs and declining advertising.

Whether it's a one-off donation or a regular giver, every additional support goes a long way to covering the running costs of this website, and keeping you regularly topped up doses of Londony news and facts.

If you like what you read on here, then please support the website here.
