 Museum of London, London Wall. by planxty
It traces the story of London from prehistory until just before the First World War. There are many "dioramas" set up, including a roman shooping street, and a similar street from Victorian times, complete with a mock-up pub.
The centrepiece of the Museum is the Lord Mayor's coach, a truly magnificent vehicle which only leaves for the Lord Mayor's Annual Show and coronations.
Currently, the medieaval exhibition is closed for renovation (until Autumn 2005) but, even allowing for this absence, you could easily spend a full day there.
Admission is free, but there is a suggested donation of £2 / $2US or €2, well worth it.
There are also periodic exhibitions at extra cost, although if you have an annual ticket for Museum in Docklands (see seperate tip) they are free.
As an additional attraction, there is currently a sculptor in residence who you can talk to and watch working. Altogether, a great day out.

I think this is one of the most overlooked museums in London. If you are interested in the history of London, this is the place for you. I try to stop for a bit on every trip I make to London.
The museum is broken down into 7 permanent sections that takes you on a journey from London before it was London to the early 1900s
Open:
Monday to Saturday 10.00am to 5.50pm
Sunday 12.00 noon to 5.50pm
Last admission 5.30pm Leave a Comment Directions: Underground: Barbican, St Paul's, Moorgate, Bank Buses: 4, 8, 25, 56, 100, 172, 242, 501, 521Website: http://www.museumoflondon.org.uk/

"Every Single Day and Every Single Night
As the birds make it Bright
We pass and get down
By the Museum of London"
I won't forget that, hehe, that's what the good ol' lady on the side was singing, attracting us towards this fine Museum. This place is open everyday until around 5:30pm, do check the website however as scheduals may change, I have provided the link below. You know I could not have agreed more with Liza, since the museum is free what do you have to lose, so much see and explore about the history of this amazing city, you must check it out if you've made it here!!

The museum of London traces the history of London from prehistoric times to the 20th century. Not to be missed: Lord Mayor's Coach, a gilt-and-scarlet fairy-tale coach built in 1757, the Great Fire of London, the death mask of Oliver Cromwell, and cell doors from Newgate Prison, made famous by Charles Dickens.

The Museum of London is well worth a visit for an overview of the history and archaeology of London, and insights into the way Londoners have lived over the centuries (but especially in the last two).
Admission to the museum is free but as usual there may be a charge for special exhibitions. Leave a Comment
