Explore and learn with us

Christmas day may have come and passed, but the fun continues at the Museum of London and Museum of London Docklands, with fun events, workshops and galleries bursting with exciting stories from London’s history.
Discover the ancient settlement of Londinium; learn about the devastating effects of the plague; or explore a Victorian high street at our London Wall site. Or, take a journey through London’s docks, once the centre of the British Empire, and discover the unique history of the East End.
Both sites have plenty happening to keep all ages entertained, and are just a short walk from St Paul’s and Canary Wharf respectively. And did we mention that kids eat free?!
