London Museum Collections

The history of London Museum’s collections goes back a lot longer than the creation of the Museum of London by an act of Parliament in 1965. The museum’s collection was formed from those of two previous museums – the Guildhall Museum (1826), and the London Museum (1911). We continue to add to its collections to tell the stories of the nine million people who live in this city

Three Days in London

Three days in London gives you time to breathe between bucket-list landmarks and brilliant local discoveries. You’ll walk in royal footsteps, see the world from sky-high towers, dip into world-class museums, and dine under railway arches buzzing with global flavours.

From Westminster Abbey to the West End, and from the South Bank to Soho, this is your ultimate 72-hour adventure. It’s a mix of history, art, food, and fun—designed for travellers who want it all without rushing through.

Have you ever done London in three days—or would you give it a go now?
