Time Out says

Having closed the doors of its last home all the way back in 2022, the attraction erstwhile known as the Museum of London will finally reopen at its new Smithfield home on November 28 2026, where it will be known as London Museum; a catchier name, for sure, but an absolute nightmare for anyone trying to find it on Google. 

The new venue will boast an underground gallery space in the old Great Northern Railway depot and a big window in the market’s old salt store allowing visitors to watch trains carry passengers through Farringdon – a feature meant to connect the museum to the ‘London of today’. A decade in the making, it’s set to arrive towards the end of the year, just on time for the museum’s 50th anniversary. 

A full preview of its inaugural exhibitions can be found here.
