The Making of the Modern Galleries, Museum of London

The Making of the Galleries of Modern London
Sat 11 Sep, 10.15am – 5pm
Book in advance £40 (concs £25*), including lunch
The new Galleries of Modern London are the largest and most complex project undertaken by the Museum since it opened in 1976. This study day will examine how the project came about over the last five years, focusing especially on the displays and the way that interactive technology has been integrated throughout the gallery space. With many of the key staff speaking, including all the lead curators, this is the first chance to hear how the galleries were conceived and created.

How London is Divided Up

The LDA - London Development Agency divides London up as follows: I have no idea who made these decisions but clearly some are not so obvious. For example, Southwark is in the Central Region but the City is in the Eastern Region given that all the bridges across the Thames in Southwark join up with the City this seems crazy! A report which discusses the issue of dividing up London can be seen here. Central sub-region Camden Islington Kensington & Chelsea Lambeth Southwark Wandsworth Westminster North sub-region Barnet Enfield Haringey Waltham Forest East sub-region Barking & Dagenham Bexley Corporation of London Greenwich Hackney Havering Lewisham Newham Redbridge Tower Hamlets South sub-region Bromley Croydon Kingston Merton Richmond Sutton West sub-region Brent Ealing Harrow Hammersmith and Fulham Hillingdon Hounslow
