With two venues Museum of London is one of the world’s largest urban history museums, telling the story of London from 450,000 BC to the present day.

Extensive collections reveal the changing nature of London’s history, which makes the Museum the perfect place to start your visit to London. Museum of London operates two museums – one in the City just by St Paul’s Cathedral and another in Docklands, near the modern business district of Canary Wharf. Together they offer a detailed record of London’s history that cannot be found anywhere else in the city.
