This is a great small museum with a fabulous collection of artifacts mostly dug up from the Thames and the surrounding streets of central London. The best thing about it is lacks all the bells and whistles of a big museum, so it is usually mercifully empty and enjoyable. The best place to go to understand the development of London.... more

I spent half a day there today with my 10 and 7 year old girls and we enjoyed it and we will go back and see the bits we missed out. We did find the exhibition areas quite variable though (see below). The London's Burning section (the storey of the fire of London) was well told, with video and interactive... more

The museum is showing its age, but if you don't mind the old fashioned type of displays and no spectacular audio visuals, it's a good snapshot of the city's history from 450,000 to the Great Fire of 1666. The collections of ancient stone tools, armoury, pottery and even bones are impressive, and the Great Fire exhibit is probably the highlight.... more

Obviously, a museum dedicated to the history of London will have lots of great material to work with. However, till the re-do is complete and open, the current museum is underwhelming in scope and presentation. It makes you realize how much museum displays, layout and technology have improved since the 1960s or 70s. If your time in London is limited,... more

Probably the worst tourist attraction in London. All the exhibits are on one floor and could easily be part of another museum. Few interesting exhibits, and took no more than 20 mins to see it all. Give it a Miss! more

Has a nice gift shop, although as an American in 2008, my wife found the exchange rate stopped her from buying alot. The... more

I really liked this museum, I was disappointed that about half of it was closed for renovation. Lots of interesting exhibits, the Great Fire was particularly good. Great place for kids. more

London today has been totally shaped by its history - for those of you who want more than the shops and the clubs - for those of you who travel in order to understand and relate, the Museum of London is a great introduction to this fantastic city. Along with a bunch of other museums in the UK, this one... more

It is a good museum. There is quite a few item to observe. However, the museum isn't properly organise and the information about specific items isn't sufficient. Nonetheless, it gives you an indication of the history of the city. Apart, it is less than 5 minutes walk from St.Paul's Cathedral. Thus, it would ideal to included with a trip to... more
