Museum of London


This museum charts the history of the city from prehistoric to Roman to Saxon to Medieval to Tudor to Stuart to 18th century and modern times. The best bit: the map of poverty from the 1800s, showing that the street I live on was occupied by "low and vicious, semi-criminal" elements. Does that explain why there's a police station nearby?
