"Time Out has named the London Museum as the best new thing to do in the capital in 2026. We can't wait for its reopening not only because of its dashing new rebrand (which features a logo of a ceramic pigeon), but also because of its its shiny new home in Smithfield Market."
"The new venue will boast an underground gallery space in the old Great Northern Railway depot and a big window in the market's old salt store allowing visitors to watch trains carry passengers through Farringdon - a feature meant to connect the museum to the 'London of today'."
"The reborn London Museum has been a decade in the making and is expected to open towards the end of the year, just in time for the museum's 50th anniversary. The museum is keeping shtum for now about the details of its opening exhibitions, but with all of London to choose from, we expect there will be some bangers."
The Museum of London has been rebranded as the London Museum and will reopen in 2026 after the London Wall site closed in December 2022. The new home is in Smithfield Market and includes an underground gallery in the former Great Northern Railway depot. A large window in the market's old salt store will allow visitors to watch trains pass through Farringdon, linking the galleries to the contemporary city. The relaunch follows a decade of planning and is scheduled toward the end of 2026 to coincide with the museum's 50th anniversary. Details of the opening exhibitions have not been released.
