Lord Mayor’s Coach comes home to The Museum of London!
November 18, 2009 GalleriesAfter a successful Lord Mayor’s Show this weekend, the spectacular coach arrived back yesterday to its home at The Museum of London. The three tonne carriage was transported by police escort from the Guildhall to the Museum.
As traffic stopped to marvel at the dramatic sight, the coach was lifted onto specially designed skates to manoeuvre it into its resting place inside the new Galleries of Modern London opening spring 2010. The Lord Mayor’s coach will be on display for all to see both inside the Museum and for the first time from street level, after the installation of brand new windows along London Wall that allow people to gaze into the galleries.
