Following the recent government announcement of a month-long lockdown across England, the Museum of London and the Museum of London Docklands will once more be temporarily closed to the public as of Thursday 5 November.
The health and wellbeing of our visitors, staff and community is of utmost importance to us and we will continue to closely review the advice from the government and Public Health England to keep people up to date on our plans to reopen. Any visitors who’ve booked for dates from Thursday 5 November will be notified of their ticket cancellation via email.
