5 April 2019 – 5 January 2020 Beasts of London is the Museum of London’s next major experience catered especially for families. Beasts of London will bring to life the history of animals in the city told from the unique perspective of the animals themselves. You will be guided by various animal characters through time, from the Roman era through medieval London and right up to present day. Discover how animals – from lions and elephants, to horses, rats and pigeons – have shaped the city and its beastly history.

Brian Blessed, Pam Ferris, Nish Kumar, Stephen Mangan, Angellica Bell and Joe Pasquale will be voicing some of the animals who once roamed this city. Inspired by objects in our collection and created in partnership with the Guildhall School of Music & Drama, Beasts of London will be a fully interactive digital installation using video projection mapping to bring the animals to life.Minimum age: 7+Tickets on sale now www.museumoflondon.org.uk/beastsoflondon
