Part of the community for over 45 years, the London Children’s Museum provides play-based learning opportunities that support children’s cognitive, social, emotional, and physical development. Interactive exhibits, daily hands-on programs, and over 7,000 artifacts allow children to explore history and heritage, investigate science and social relationships, and celebrate art and culture. The London Children’s Museum helps children ignite their curiosity and play their way to a life of innovation and creative discovery.
