Museum of London - Polling past, polling present

We want Londoners to show us what it means to live in this city today as part of City Now City Future – a season exploring change in the capital.

Like those who recorded polling days of the past we are inviting voting Londoners to send us pictures of the places they visit to cast their votes from churches to libraries, from community halls to museums, voting gets done in all kinds of places.

Help us build a picture of London today by sharing an image of the outside of your local polling station on Twitter or Instagram using #LondonView, or by uploading an image to our website.
