The London Museum is moving into its huge new home at Smithfield Market on November 28, more than two years after closing its old site. It will display iconic items like Banksy's piranhas and King Charles I's vest, with Thameslink trains even running through basement galleries. The museum also plans to host dinner clubs and club nights, transforming the disused Victorian building into a social hub.
