Although smallish I rather enjoyed this small museum located within the Guildhall building complex. The museum shows a brief history of the City of London police and presents several artifacts, objects. Worth a visit if in the area.

A hidden gem and a must-visit. It was literally empty when we came - we saw nobody else there. There were two lovely guides who showed us how the police used to communicate. Definitely go if you're in the area!

A small, but interesting museum about the history of the City of London Police. We were all alone in the exhibition! And there is no admission fee! We learnt that the City of London Police is a separate police force and not part of the Metropolitan Police. The exhibition shows also interesting facts about Suffragettes and Victorian murders.

This is an amazing small museum for families.

Cool little museum that you shouldn't miss. Like all London museums, it's free. It's inside an admin building. There's no check-in or anything like that. Just a converted large room. There are cool pieces of London history and it talks about events that defined how they operate. Cool place and will definitely recommend it. It takes around 30 minutes to go through everything.

City of London Police Museum is a museum dedicated to the Police force in London. The museum shares the same building has that of the Guildhall Library. The museum charts the history of the London police from it;s very beginning as an ad-hoc group of glorified night watchmen to the professional force it is today. Some of the best known events associated with the force such as Jack the Ripper murders, terrorist bombings and riots are well-documented. There's also a good amount of information about different divisions of the modern police force such as dog handlers, mounted police, forensics etc. There's a lot of written information, but for those who prefer to listen, there's free audio guides with commentary from current and former police officers. Nice to hear from first hand experience and a nice change from standard narrators. The museum is nice and compact and it should be possible to get through it in under an hour. If visiting, do check the opening times. It's open every weekday, but not open every weekend.

Very disappointing small little to see

Very interesting tour

Nice for a 10 minute break after a full day of serious business meeting in the city. Counterfeit money. Sadly no fake passports. Real murder weapons. Surprised to find a GuideID audio tour Company is from my home town Deventer. Works fine.

Whats on display is interesting but they where formed 1839 so thought might have been abit more to it but passed half an hour and was free

Interesting small museum, free entry

Very interesting museum , not very large but full of fascinating artifact's. The story of the London city police is told through the exhibits, we spent about an hour and quarter there.

It's one of the only police museums in London and offers a great experience. You learn about the City of London police before it started and right up to present day. They also offer audio guides which cannot be reserved so I suggest arriving early.

Free experience, informative and interesting stories about the development in policing the smallest district in the world.

Interesting for the adults. But the children found it hard to engage. They are definitely trying to cater for the children. But just didn't work for my kids. Sorry guys. But I would definitely visit again. Found it very interesting and I liked to hear the stories as you went around. I would recommend a visit.

Very small museum but full of interesting displays and information. We'll worth a visit if you are in the area.

Very enjoyable to learn about the history of policing in London but a bit boring for the younger children if you are with families as there are not many activities for them. However it is a relatively small museum so it should be ok. You can try some outfits at the end and follow an audio guide around the museum.

Not as big as we thought

One of the many hidden gems scattered around in London. It's free and probably takes about 20mins to look around.

Let's talk about 'unkind' words. The hypocrisy is unreal. Jokers

A small museum in the heart of London. I found it interesting.

(Translated by Google) small but interesting exhibition, free entry (Original) malá,ale zajímavá expozice, vstup zdarma

(Translated by Google) Good but rather short (Original) Bien mais plutôt court

Small place, you'd miss the entrance if you weren't on foot! Fascinating insight and my particular favourite was the pictures that a Special Constable had taken after the blitz. Thankyou.

(Translated by Google) A small, quick museum to visit and very informative about the history of the Police in the City (Original) Un petit musée rapide à visiter et très instructif sur l'histoire de la Police dans la City

Very interesting museum.

Extremely moving..loved it.

We had a guided tour very good, very informative

A tiny museum showcasing fragments of rich history of city of london police. Plus some interesting old artefacts, cases etc. The "super spotter" face recognition game was quite good! Worth a visit if you're near Guildhall.

Interesting look at London's history through the lens of the force responsible for The Square Mile. Unexpected highs (Olympic champions!) and lows (the Houndsditch murders) abound in the compact space, complemented by the free audio guides available at the entrance.

(Translated by Google) Small and generally without exhibits. Rather, an addition to the library, not an independent museum. Few artifacts. (Original) Małe i generalnie bez eksponatów. Raczej dodatek do biblioteki, a nie samodzielne museum. Mało artefaktów.

Great history of the London Police.

Very interesting worth a visit.

Interesting

To small

Fascinating exhibits and story of City Police. Small space but rich history.

Nice

(Translated by Google) Not large in area, but made in British very interesting! (Original) Не большой по площади,но сделан по британски очеень интересно!

Interesting museum about the Metropolitan Police. Free Entry

A small museum filled with interesting information and artefacts of policing London over time.

(Translated by Google) Small, but very curious. It is also less frequented and people are lovely. They have a guide to collaborate as little cops to the little ones. (Original) Pequeño, pero muy curioso. Además está poco frecuentado y la gente es encantadora. Tienen una guía para colaborar como pequeños policías a los más pequeños.

Excellent little museum on the history of the police force. Free entry.

This is brilliant and the library is next door.

The museum was really interesting. Small inside so won't take you too long to get around.
