Description

The London Fire Brigade Museum covers the history of firefighting since 1666. The Museum holds over 20,000 items—from leather hoses to fine art paintings, charting the people, innovations, and milestones that have shaped firefighting in London and beyond.

From November 2016 we had a temporary Pop-up Museum in a fantastic space that used to be a fire engine garage in Lambeth but this is now closed. We are starting the development phase of the new London Fire Brigade Museum.

If you are looking for Best place for day out with kids and families then this is the perfect destination offering fun, adventure, and unforgettable memories for everyone.
