London's city museum reopens on 28 November 2026 under a new name and in a new home: the derelict General Market beside Smithfield's meat halls, a Victorian market building left empty for decades and now rebuilt around its own ironwork and glazed dome. The move ends the institution's run at London Wall, where it had been hemmed in by a roundabout and reached by a walkway, and puts it at street level in a market that has traded on the site since the twelfth century.
