EVENTS OPS MANAGER

Be part of one of London's most significant cultural openings.

On 28th November 2026, the new London Museum will open its doors in the heart of historic Smithfield, marking the culmination of a decade-long transformation of the iconic Victorian General Market into one of the world's most exciting new cultural destinations.
