Newest Review: ... Great Fire of London experience but I don't think anywhere has ever brought it to life in quite the way that the Museum of London did. There is so much information on the Fire of London and this is probably the one place where I can't complain about lack of information. I learnt about far more than just the fire and it's immediate impact on London, I learnt about the way it impacted on ... more

 ... building regulations (some people may think this is boring, I personally found it fascinating), insurance and fire procedures in London. There was a six minute video on the great fire which I really enjoyed. It is based on eye witness accounts and I th...more

Premium Review Museum of London: From Londinium to London (2432 words)

So, it's a bank holiday Monday. The weather people predict rain, it's the day before pay day and I have very little money and I am on a mission to do as much sightseeing between now and September in London as possible. That left me with only one thing to do, The Museum of London. -Getting There- The Museum of London is located between St. Paul's tube station and Moorgate. Both are within easy walking distance of the museum but I would recommend getting off at Moorgate just because the route to the museum is far less crowded than at St. Pauls. The museum is well sign posted from Moorgate tube station but I would still recommend printing off a ...  Read the complete review

The Museum of London is a place in transformation at the moment- so be aware that until next year there are limited galleries to view whilst they add a new extension to the current building. The new galleries will make the building mroe coherent, give it a window on to the street (at the moment it is very lost in the maze-like Barbican complex in the City of London) and the interpretation of the collections will be much more inclusive. So watch this space. Meanwhile, some of the current highlights include probably the best gallery on ancient flint heads out there. Such material often looks dull to anyone but the specialist but the bright clean design of the ...  Read the complete review

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 ...  Read the complete review

Premium Review Uncover the Past (714 words)

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. London today is a vibrant, exciting and fascinating city - its history is even more so. 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 ...  Read the complete review

Crowned Review The Museum of London – crammed full of London’s ... (1233 words)

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 ...  Read the complete review
