As London guides, the Footprints of London team have been inspired by the Museum of London over the years. We are all a little bit sad about the current site closing, even if we are excited about the possibilities of the new home for the Museum of London. With that in mind we have chosen some of our favourite objects from the Museum of London&#8217;s collection.<\/p>\n<h4><a href=\"https:\/\/footprintsoflondon.com\/stephen-benton\">Stephen Benton<\/a> nominated the lifts from Selfridges<\/h4>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/footprintsoflondon.com\/live\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/selfridges-lift-door.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-8350 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/footprintsoflondon.com\/live\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/selfridges-lift-door-222x300.jpg\" alt=\"The 1920s lift from Selfridges on display at the Museum of London\" width=\"222\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/footprintsoflondon.com\/live\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/selfridges-lift-door.jpg 222w, https:\/\/footprintsoflondon.com\/live\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/selfridges-lift-door.jpg 699w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 222px) 100vw, 222px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The Selfridges lifts dating from the late 1920s are just stunning.

Suffragettes used sympathetic teashops to organise meetings and even plan for window, breaking expeditions.

It may well have been one of the first mosaics I ever remember seeing as I came to the Museum of London and a small child when it first opened. And so began a love of mosaics and I have now literally seen thousands all over the Roman world.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s an amazing survival of a near complete mosaic from the 3rd century A.D. ( 200-250) in three sections. It has dizzying geometry with a floral design within in a knot pattern and surrounded in a star of overlapping squares. The apse like fan shape is linked to the main design by a band swirling acanthus leaves. The mosaic was discovered when laying Queen Victoria Street in 1869 and caused a great sensation in the press with some 50,000 people coming to look at it and has continued to impress ever since.<br \/>\nMarilyn has a number of walks which feature Roman remains and discoveries in the City.<\/p>\n<h4><a href=\"https:\/\/footprintsoflondon.com\/jane-parker\">Jane Parker<\/a> chose the sign board worn by Stanley Green<\/h4>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/footprintsoflondon.com\/live\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/stanley-green-sign.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-8356 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/footprintsoflondon.com\/live\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/stanley-green-sign-200x300.jpg\" alt=\"Sign belonging to Stanley Green in the Museum of London\" width=\"200\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/footprintsoflondon.com\/live\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/stanley-green-sign.jpg 200w, https:\/\/footprintsoflondon.com\/live\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/stanley-green-sign.jpg 437w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 200px) 100vw, 200px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>My vote goes to the portable signage worn by Stanley Green, The Protein Man, telling us about the lusty evils of some common foodstuffs, which, ironically, took the form of a sandwich board. This quiet and inoffensive preacher travelled in almost every day 1968-93, excluding Sundays, all the way from Northolt, to quietly preach his findings and sell his leaflets. If you didn\u2019t see him, you felt cheated. I\u2019m looking forward to seeing this exhibit reinstated at the new Smithfield galleries.<\/p>\n<h4><a href=\"https:\/\/footprintsoflondon.com\/sean-patterson\">Sean Patterson<\/a> chose The Charles Booth Poverty Map room at the British Museum<\/h4>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/footprintsoflondon.com\/live\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/charles-booth-map.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-8357 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/footprintsoflondon.com\/live\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/charles-booth-map-298x300.jpg\" alt=\"Charles Booth's map\" width=\"298\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/footprintsoflondon.com\/live\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/charles-booth-map.jpg 298w, https:\/\/footprintsoflondon.com\/live\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/charles-booth-map.jpg 150w, https:\/\/footprintsoflondon.com\/live\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/charles-booth-map.jpg 80w, https:\/\/footprintsoflondon.com\/live\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/charles-booth-map.jpg 118w, https:\/\/footprintsoflondon.com\/live\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/charles-booth-map.jpg 45w, https:\/\/footprintsoflondon.com\/live\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/charles-booth-map.jpg 546w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 298px) 100vw, 298px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Over a twenty year period from the early 1880\u2019s the successful businessman Charles Booth surveyed the streets of London from a socio-economic perspective. He created a series of maps for books such as \u2018The Life and Labour of the People of London\u2019 which used several colours to indicate the degree of poverty or wealth on each street in an area that roughly corresponds to our travel zones 1 and 2.<\/p>\n<p>The Museum of London\u2019s Booth exhibition room is clever in covering three sides of the room in his maps, creating a wrap around immersive effect enhanced by a touchscreen with additional information.<\/p>\n<p>Visitors are always fascinated, seemingly compelled to look up places they know, or even live, to compare the late 19th Century with now. As someone who conducts a series of guided walks in the areas Booth covers, using extracts from his notes as readings, I very much hope the new museum will continue to hold a torch for this important survey and create another, perhaps even more interactive, exhibition.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Museum of London closes its doors this weekend, in preparation for the move to Smithfield where it will reopen as The London Museum.
