London's greatest stories

In the heart of London, the Suffragette movement captured the world's attention with extraordinary courage, creativity, and determination in the campaign for the right to vote.

At London Museum, families can explore one of the world's largest collections of Suffragette objects and uncover the remarkable stories behind a movement that continues to inspire generations around the globe.

London Museum will be a free, family-friendly landmark in the heart of the City of London, bringing 10,000 years of the city’s history to life for visitors from around the world!

Your visit will begin in Real Time, where live city data and giant animated screens will reveal what’s happening in London today. You’ll also encounter iconic items like Banksy’s Piranhas sentry box.

In the General Market ground floor, Our Time is home to our lively day-to-night events programme and features 13 large-scale installations filled with objects from London’s recent past.

Then travel 10,000 years into London’s past in the museum’s vast underground galleries. Past Time brings history to life through spectacular objects, immersive displays and interactive experiences – from Roman artefacts and Suffragette belongings to the 2012 Olympic Games.

Discover London through the stories of the people who shaped it, from its greatest achievements to its most challenging moments. Along the way, unexpected moments, like glimpses of trains passing through the historic site (a museum first!), connect past and present in vivid, memorable ways.

In just one visit, discover the people, moments and stories that have made London what it is today.
