Sharon Ament, director of the London Museum, expressed, "We are steaming ahead to deliver a transformative, world-leading museum that will be worthy of this great global capital." She emphasized the importance of the upcoming museum in representing London's global status.
Christopher Hayward, policy chairman of the City of London Corporation, stated that the funding marks a "positive milestone for the new London Museum," indicating the significance of the museum as a "cultural and economic cornerstone" for London.
London Mayor Sadiq Khan expressed pride in being an integral part of the museum's creation, underscoring the support from local government with a total contribution of £95 million toward this significant cultural project.
The London Museum aims to open the formerly derelict Victorian General Market in 2026, with plans for the Poultry Market to house educational and exhibition spaces by 2028, contributing to preserving historic structures.
