Society of Londoners
Have an active impact on the museum’s work, while exploring London’s past, present and future alongside our Chairman and Director.
The Society of Londoners is a group of fascinating individuals invested in London. Membership offers an incredible opportunity to make a charitable impact at the Museum of London, while being connected with London’s rich history, its vibrant present and its exciting future.
We want the museum to be a place where members come to engage, debate and share their experience and ideas with other Londoners so that, together, we can make London the best it can be.
Membership
Our four levels of annual support offer ever closer interaction with the museum:
- Young Members (18-40): £1,000 per year or £79 monthly
- Society of Londoners: £1,750 per year or £145 monthly
- Visionaries: £5,000 per year
- Luminaries: £10,000 per year
From Young Members to Luminaries, all Society of Londoners members are invited to contribute to conversations about topics both within and without the museum walls. We want our members to feel truly invested in everything that the Museum of London represents, and to witness the impact of their support, both philanthropic and personal.
