The museum comprises a series of chronological galleries containing original artefacts, models, pictures and diagrams. The museum covers principally social and economic history, with a strong emphasis on the built city and urban development. As of 2004, the museum is engaged in a long term program to overhaul the galleries with contemporary interactive exhibits. The prehistoric gallery, which is called "London Before London" has already been updated. Star exhibits include the Lord Mayor of London 's state coach.

Fragments of the old London Wall can be seen just outside the museum . The Museum of London is responsible for rescue excavations in the City area.

In 2003, the museum opened an offshoot called The Museum in Docklands in a 19th-century warehouse building near Canary Wharf on the Isle of Dogs . The new museum relates the economic and social history of the London Docklands .
