Museum of London marks 100 days to closure with free event and giveaways for visitors

Museum of London will mark 100 days to closure of its London Wall site this Friday, 26 August, with a special event. The museum will be giving away 500 Lewis of London ice creams from 11:30am, while visitors will also enjoy a performance by Grand Union Orchestra at midday.

Starting this Friday, digital screens will display a countdown clock to mark the days left before the London Wall site closes to the public on Sunday 4 December 2022, in preparation for the museum’s move to a new home at West Smithfield.

The first 100 visitors through the museum’s doors on Friday will receive a goody bag featuring Museum of London memorabilia, including a Museum of London guidebook, a pack of playing cards displaying iconic images from their collections, a greeting card featuring a print by artist Willkay, a Pride tote bag, and a hologram pencil. Goody bags will also feature a special gift of either a tea towel, a Vauxhall Pleasure Gardens mug, a sketch notebook, an A3 print of London or a soft toy.

The event forms part of a six-month long programme of activities leading up to the museum’s closure at London Wall.
