Visit the Design Museum

Founded in 1989 and situated in a former 1940s Banana warehouse on Shad Thames, a stone's throw from Tower Bridge, the Design Museum claims to be the first museum of modern design.


With around 200,000 visitors a year, it isn't one of London's premier league museums, but is still an internationally recognised centre of contemporary design, and is a good place to learn about what's what in pretty stuff.

The museum is open from 10am - 5.45pm, and the entry charge fluctuates depending on which exhibitions are showing at the moment.
