About the Museum of London A huge museum in the City devoted to the history, mostly of the centre of London, from Roman times right up to the modern day.
A number of permanent galleries are laid out in chronological order, with a mixture of original objects and recreations.
Particular highlights include the recreation of a Victorian street, the 2012 Olympic cauldron, and the Lord Mayor's carriage.
A number of displays change several times a year, with smaller free exhibitions, and usually one major paid-for exhibition.
