What to expect

The London Museum opens at West Smithfield on 28 November 2026, and its food and drink opens with it. Green & Fortune runs all of it under a ten-year contract, with Robin Gill as food curator, Dan Rampat as chef director and Mr Lyan Studio on drinks.

There are four places. Clerks House is a 140-seat all-day dining room for seasonal roasts and pies. Bartholomew’s is a bar on Farringdon Road with Mr Lyan cocktails and pub classics. The Temperance Cocoa Rooms is an alcohol-free cafe planned to open around the clock from Thursday to Sunday, and The Roost hosts rotating street food residencies.

Prices and opening hours for each have not been published yet. The museum’s own Smithfield page is where they will appear.

The details here come from the London Museum’s press release of 18 June 2026 and its Smithfield page, and from Green & Fortune’s announcement, checked on 16 September 2026.
