London is home to at least 240 museums, which come in all manner of shapes, sizes and specialities.

This figure is subject to change of course, as new institutions open, whilst others sadly close...

In this video, I'd like to show you four lost London museums and, in doing so, hopefully give you some idea as to what it was like to visit them during their heyday.

Depending on your age of course, most of the places we'll be seeing here were open within living memory so if you do have any recollections of them, please do be sure to share them in the comments as I'd love to hear them!
