Great museum about the history of London from ancestry til now. Free entrance, donations are suggested. Wide variety of sections. It is distributed depending on the ages. Still has a section of the original Roman arches. Ideal to go with kids and anybody else. Very nice staff. 5 stars

There is no clear flow to some parts of the museum & I think like it would be really easy to miss bits. The staff were friendly & they had some good pieces in there. They could do with making it a bit interactive for kids. Took a couple of hours to walk though it all.

We loved this museum. Very informative and filled with fabulous artifacts and scenes of times gone by. Highly recommended for anyone interested in how London developed from a small settlement to the capital city we know today. The staff were very good, greeting us and providing information and direction. And its FREE! Well done to the curators and staff for providing such a brilliant place to visit.

It's free. So that's a bonus. You can make a donation. They ask for £5 and it's worth it. It was great to learn more about the city that I've lived in for nearly my whole life. I've never been before. I should've gone before. It's not just for tourists. I was enticed to come by the Harry Kane exhibit and I loved it. It was amazing to see all the other exhibits that they have. Would highly recommend it. The place has moody lighting. It's not a bright museum. Actually I would say it's dark inside.

It is a museum with sections where you can see the historical development of London, the change in social and cultural life, and see the social and commercial life as if you were living in its period.

London has some of the best museums in the world and so many of then are free to boot. This museum is well set up to tell the story of of London from prehistoric times all the way into the modern Era. Each section highlights major events, technologies, and traditions to illustrate the corresponding time period. The medieval section and the women's suffrage exhibits particularly captured my attention.

Really interesting exhibition about the history of London. Lots of really interesting artefacts to see and a few videos to watch. This is not really suitable for young kids, but would be great for teenagers and adults. A really great video about world war 2, but it is extremely sad. Lovely cafe at the entrance too. Well worth a visit.

Museum has some good and some kinda boring exhibits. However this is personal choice. For me, not being a Londoner it wasn't all for me. However was very informative. I preferred the later part where there was more fun things there. I did feel the guy explaining they were a charity at the beginning a bit much. We and I'm sure most people understand that these places are relying on funding and donations. However we would prefer to donate in peace without feeling forced. After all the tickets were free, it's the least we can do is spare money for them. As I'm sure most will feel the same.
