World City: 1950 – today, Museum of London

World City: 1950 – today: London emerged from World War II as a city in decline. By the 1950s the tide had turned against the British Empire. By the end of the 20th century, the diversity of its people was at the heart of London's identity.

This is the place to visit if you're interested in London's history. The Museum of London documents the history of London from prehistoric times right up to today. It's about Londoners as much as the city as the people have made the city what it is today.

Learn about London from the days when the whole population would fit on one double-decker bus! Make sure you see the Lord Mayor's Coach, which was built in 1757 and is still used every year for the Lord Mayor's Show.
