The new London Museum is organized across three main spaces—Past Time, Our Time, and Real Time. A few examples below

  • Underground Thameslink Train Window (Past Time): A world-first 6-metre viewing window in the subterranean galleries lets you watch real Thameslink commuter trains rumble past while passengers glimpse the museum from the tracks.
  • King Charles I’s Silk Vest (Past Time): The actual silk vest worn by King Charles I at his execution in 1649.
  • Banksy’s Piranhas (Real Time): The famous artwork originally unveiled on a City of London police box, displayed alongside live data screens.
  • Emmeline Pankhurst’s Hunger Strike Medal (Past Time): A historic artifact representing the militant suffragette movement in London.
  • Queen Victoria’s Mourning Dress (Past Time): Worn following the death of Prince Albert.
  • Charles Dickens’ Personal Chair (Past Time): An intimate personal item belonging to one of London's most iconic literary figures.
  • The Architecture of Smithfield’s General Market (Our Time): The restored 1883 Victorian industrial building by Sir Horace Jones, featuring wrought-iron Phoenix Columns, a central hall dome, and historic brick facades.

Please pre book tickets for 12:30pm to avoid disappointment.
