THE CITY OF London – ‘the square mile’ – contains two principal museums, the Guildhall Art Gallery and the Museum of London. While there is some overlay in the collections, especially images of notable citizens and views of the Thames, they provide an extraordinary contrast, just a few minutes’ walk from each other. The Museum of London tells the story of the city from a chronological viewpoint; the Guildhall Art Gallery is a rather miscellaneous collection of pictures and sculpture, some with a London connection, others with none at all. The Guildhall collection has its roots in the hall’s ancient history of record and commemoration and is run by the City of London Corporation.
