Museum of London plans ‘epic leaving do’ before moving out

Five-month programme of special events will take place before relocation to new home in Smithfield

An epic leaving party" potentially lasting all night will be the final public event of the Museum of London before its building is demolished ahead of a move to a new site, its director has said.

The doors will close for the last time on 4 December, the museum has confirmed, and we are really gearing up for that last weekend", the museum's director, Sharon Ament, said. If there is demand, we will stay open 24 hours - we really want everybody who hasn't been to the Museum of London to come and see it."
