A new museum for London

In this section

We have embarked on an extraordinary journey to create a new museum for London. It will sit in atmospheric but currently dilapidated market buildings, at the heart of one of the capital’s most historic and creative quarters, Smithfield General Market, forming an integral part of the Smithfield area next to Farringdon.

Countdown to West Smithfield relocation begins

Museum of London’s main site at London Wall closed as a visitor attraction in December 2022 in preparation for its relocation to Smithfield General Market.
