The Whitefriars Crypt, once hidden beneath an office block, is set to become a public museum, offering insights into London's medieval history and the legacy of the Carmelite Friars.
Following City of London's approval, plans for the Whitefriars museum include a reception area overlooking the crypt and a lift for visitors to access its stone walls.
The redevelopment aims to transform the crypt into a more visible and accessible space, similar to the successful City Wall museum, enriching public understanding of the area's rich history.
Rediscovered in 1896, the Whitefriars remains tell of a vibrant past, evolving from a pre-dissolution abbey to a hub for the arts before succumbing to neglect and decay.
