Under Construction
This complex rejuvenation is bringing new life into the historic Smithfield Market area with the introduction of a brand new museum to the neighbourhood.
The London Museum sits within the historic fabric of Smithfield Market, located over complex layers of Victorian railway infrastructure. The ethos of the scheme is to retain as much of the existing fabric as possible utilising a complex retention system and repairing/replacing as required, with careful modern insertions to enable the LM to function, respectful to both the area of Smithfield and the heritage of the building.
