"Our transport is always being upgraded to make travel smoother, our neighbourhoods are always getting new homes and community spaces, and fresh cultural offerings like restaurants and theatre shows are always popping up. So naturally, 2026 will be full of new openings. We've put together a list of all of the most exciting new projects set to alter London over the next 12 months."
"Based in Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park, a short walk from the storehouse, the new museum will have two free permanent galleries packed with more than 500 objects spanning art, architecture, design, performance and fashion. It'll open to the public on April 18 and its first exhibition, The Music is Black: A British Story, will explore how Black British music has shaped culture in Britain and beyond, with exhibits including Joan Armatrading's childhood guitar, looks worn by Little Simz and photography by Dennis Morris and Jennie Baptiste."
London will undergo numerous cultural and public-space openings throughout 2026. Major multi-venue developments will appear in the west of the city. A new public garden will be created along the Thames at Millbank and will surround the neo-classical building, serving gallery visitors and the local community. Central London will gain a casino and a quirky hostel. East London will receive a new museum and a jazz bar. V&A East Museum will open on April 18 with two free permanent galleries containing over 500 objects and an inaugural exhibition exploring the influence of Black British music.
