After 40 years in its current location, the Museum of London is getting ready to up sticks and re-locate to a new home in West Smithfield. Back in January, the museum launched a competition to design the new building, which is planned to open in 2021. The shortlist has now been announced, with six designs in the running. The winner will be announced this summer, but in the meantime you can have a nosy at all the shortlisted designs in an exhibition at the museum until August 5.
