Museums in City of London

City Art & History

Explore the City of London’s evolution through its diverse cultural sites. This selection spans nearly two millennia, from the subterranean ruins of the Roman Temple of Mithras and the 7th-century Saxon foundations of All Hallows-by-the-Tower to the medieval grandeur of the Guildhall. Modern culture is represented by the brutalist Barbican Centre, a major arts hub, and the Bankside Gallery. Visitors can also explore the history of British currency at the Bank of England Museum, housed within its 18th-century neoclassical headquarters.
