Reviews of The City Of London Police Museum
L. B.The museum was really interesting. Small inside so won't take you too long to get around.
A. B.Very enjoyable to learn about the history of policing in London but a bit boring for the younger children if you are with families as there are not many activities for them. However it is a relatively small museum so it should be ok. You can try some outfits at the end and follow an audio guide around the museum.
P. B.It's one of the only police museums in London and offers a great experience. You learn about the City of London police before it started and right up to present day. They also offer audio guides which cannot be reserved so I suggest arriving early.
S. D.A hidden gem and a must-visit. It was literally empty when we came - we saw nobody else there. There were two lovely guides who showed us how the police used to communicate. Definitely go if you're in the area!
A.A tiny museum showcasing fragments of rich history of city of london police. Plus some interesting old artefacts, cases etc. The "super spotter" face recognition game was quite good! Worth a visit if you're near Guildhall.
N. G.Interesting look at London's history through the lens of the force responsible for The Square Mile. Unexpected highs (Olympic champions!) and lows (the Houndsditch murders) abound in the compact space, complemented by the free audio guides available at the entrance.
D. W.Very small museum but full of interesting displays and information. We'll worth a visit if you are in the area.
t. p.Small place, you'd miss the entrance if you weren't on foot! Fascinating insight and my particular favourite was the pictures that a Special Constable had taken after the blitz. Thankyou.
J. B.Cool little museum that you shouldn't miss. Like all London museums, it's free. It's inside an admin building. There's no check-in or anything like that. Just a converted large room. There are cool pieces of London history and it talks about events that defined how they operate. Cool place and will definitely recommend it. It takes around 30 minutes to go through everything.
D. C.A small museum about the world's smallest police force. Very interesting and informative.
And free. Big positive nice toliets.
D. B.Interesting little museum with some good exhibits and photographs, well worth popping into for half an hour if you are passing.
m.City of London Police Museum is a museum dedicated to the Police force in London. The museum shares the same building has that of the Guildhall Library. The museum charts the history of the London police from it;s very beginning as an ad-hoc group of glorified night watchmen to the professional force it is today. Some of the best known events associated with the force such as Jack the Ripper murders, terrorist bombings and riots are well-documented. There's also a good amount of information about different divisions of the modern police force such as dog handlers, mounted police, forensics etc.
There's a lot of written information, but for those who prefer to listen, there's free audio guides with commentary from current and former police officers. Nice to hear from first hand experience and a nice change from standard narrators.
The museum is nice and compact and it should be possible to get through it in under an hour. If visiting, do check the opening times. It's open every weekday, but not open every weekend.
J. F.Small but okay for what it was. It had some descriptive photos and a video or two. It was neat to try on and take photos with the different types hats.
G. M.Whats on display is interesting but they where formed 1839 so thought might have been abit more to it but passed half an hour and was free
N. a.Small place but full of details which are introducing the history of the city of London. The curator is such a nice guy and he knows even the smallest detail😍
R. M.Small museum but definitely worth a visit if you have 30 minutes spare.

W. W.Interesting for the adults. But the children found it hard to engage. They are definitely trying to cater for the children. But just didn't work for my kids. Sorry guys. But I would definitely visit again. Found it very interesting and I liked to hear the stories as you went around. I would recommend a visit.
Z. (.A small, but interesting museum about the history of the City of London Police. We were all alone in the exhibition! And there is no admission fee!
We learnt that the City of London Police is a separate police force and not part of the Metropolitan Police. The exhibition shows also interesting facts about Suffragettes and Victorian murders.
