About Museum of London
London Museum is a museum in London, covering the history of the city from prehistoric to modern times, with a particular focus on social history. The Museum of London was formed in 1976 by amalgamating the collection previously held by the City Corporation at the Guildhall Museum and that of the London Museum. From 1976 to 2022, its main site was in the City of London on London Wall, close to the Barbican Centre, part of the Barbican complex of buildings created in the 1960s and 1970s to redevelop a bomb-damaged area of the city. In 2015, the museum revealed plans to move to the General Market Building at the nearby Smithfield site. Reasons for the proposed move included the claim that the current site was difficult for visitors to find, and that by expanding, from 17,000 square metres to 27,000, a greater proportion of the museum's collection could be placed on display. In December 2022, the museum permanently closed its site at London Wall in preparation for reopening in 2026 at Smithfield Market. The museum changed its name and branding to "London Museum" in July 2024 in advance of the move.

Among those items, they have a patched leather shoe of a man called John Big, and they believe that Big was the executioner.

There's a Mithraium in London. Yes! They found it when they were excavating. I can't remember what they were digging up. I think it was near the Museum of London, weirdly it was found. Yeah. They've reconstructed what it would have looked like. At the end, there's the classic image of Mithra slaughtering a bull. That was the big image of him wearing a Phrygian cap and Anatolian trousers.
