Directions
Founded in 1694 to raise funds for the English government, the Bank of England grew into the United Kingdom’s central bank. Its museum tells that story through historic banknotes, coins, charters and displays about the building’s architecture. Exhibits also explain how money is made, how banking has changed and why the Bank’s work matters to everyday life. Visitors can try lifting a real gold bar—a memorable way to grasp the physical weight behind an otherwise abstract subject. Set within the Bank’s City of London complex, the museum connects centuries of financial history with questions about today’s economy. Its mix of objects and interactive displays makes a major institution more approachable for adults and children alike.
Before you enter
- Check current opening hours before travelling; the museum is normally open Monday to Friday.
- Allow around 30 minutes to an hour for the displays.
- Head for the museum entrance on Bartholomew Lane rather than assuming you can enter through the Bank’s main frontage.
What to expect
- Expect displays on banknotes, coins, gold, the Bank’s history and its architecture.
- Look for interactive exhibits that explain the Bank’s role in the economy.
- Admission is free, making this an easy stop while exploring the City of London.
During your visit
- Try lifting the gold bar if the hands-on display is available.
