Summary
COI synopsis: Visitors to London may know what they want to see - the Tower of London, say - and even where it is but, like the natives, they may not know what it really is and how it got there. A visit to the new London Musuem will put that right, as Diana MacLean discovered when she did for us a quick tour of the museum which tells the visual story of London from the Stone Age to the present day.
