Sport and the new London Museum

We have embarked on an extraordinary journey to create a new museum for London. It will sit in atmospheric but currently dilapidated market buildings, at the heart of one of the capital’s most historic and creative quarters, Smithfield General Market, forming an integral part of the City of London Corporation’s Culture Mile.

Our research to date has shown that London's sporting past should be a more central part of the museum. So we want to capture as many different voices of Londoners to inform our planning about what stories we should tell, what we should include in the displays and what collections we should develop.

This survey should take no more than 10 minute and your input will be vital to our understanding and making the museum the best it can be.

We treat all data under GDPR guidelines and responsibly. And data captured in this survey will be used for the sole purposes of our planning for the new museum.

All data gathered here will be treated anonymously.

A huge thank you in advance for your support and input!
