Museum of London 
Description
Located in the Barbican complex the museum charts the history of London and Londoners from pre-history through the small settlements that would have grown up in the area, to the arrival of the Romans and the creation of Londinium. It then continues through the Anglo-Saxon and Middle Ages city before reaching the tumultuous events of the mid-1660s with plague and then fire ravaging the city. At the time of visiting the story of the capital continues up to the Olympic games in 2012 - The museum itself is in the process of building a new site a short distance away, as it has outgrown its existing space, so there isn't any space to continue beyond the early 2010s. Once in their new home in West Smithfield's the museum will be updated again.
