Newest Review: ... how they survive and provide an oasis of calm, right there in the middle of London. Museum of London is easy to roam around, lots of information readily to hand and quite honestly you spend hours there and need to go around again to take it all in. London Museum is a modern presentation of how life was and is worthy of your time and local support so it will continue to grow; to provide just ... more

 ... the right balance of history and learning. My only disappointment is that the history of London stops before the Second World War and I would have loved to experience this era and times since. The Museum of London was not on my first list of visits...more

Premium Review Museum of London: Museum ofLondon, learning (313 words)

Everything London interests me. From unbelievable, ancient old relics to the Lord Mayor's coach, the Museum of London holds plenty of surprises for anyone visiting for education, entertainment or research. London Museum is definitely well planned for journeying through the evolution of one of the world's biggest cities; clearly showing and outlining in a ''user-friendly'' way just about everything you need to know about London, up to the early 1900s. (Not sure of the exact cut-off year, sorry!) I found the attention to detail quite amazing. I learned so much I never knew and recommend people visit just to get a perspective of how the Thames ...

This museum is arguably the best there is for anyone wishing to find out about London's past. Whilst I am primarily a sixteenth century historian, I really enjoy discovering the history of our capital city.

Luckily, when you buy a ticket for the Museum of London, it is valid for a whole year, otherwise it would be difficult to really see and appreciate all it has to offer in just one visit. I bought a student ticket which was only £3 - absolutely excellent value, especially if compared to the other London museums. The nearest tube stops to here are Barbican or St Pauls, so it is ...

I must admit I do enjoy visiting museums and as I was on holiday with a few days spare before Christmas – I decided to get along to the Museum of London – something I had been promising myself for the last nine months or so. Its not a difficult museum to find and you can walk to it from a number of local tube stations. I went by tube from Paddington to Moorgate on the Circle/Hammersmith and City/Metropolitan line and followed the brown direction signs along the walkway known as the London Wall. If you don’t fancy that – try getting off at St Paul’s on the Central line and walking up St Martins/Aldersgate. The Museum is right in ...

excellent presentation; informative and inspirational; including it in the museum allows a full and interesting day out could be much bigger; including it in the museum can mean it's relatively expensive and crowded for a photo exhibition; they never have postcards of the ones you want!
