We are delighted that the Museum of London has reopened and, as per government guidelines, we are now able to accommodate small meetings of up to 30 delegates with 2m distancing.
We’ve been working tirelessly behind the scenes to ensure the necessary hygiene protocols and health & safety procedures are in place to safely welcome back event delegates. These procedures are detailed in our ‘Delivering Safe Events at the Museum of London’ document, which takes organisers through the different areas of booking an event, showcasing all of the new protocols from the initial enquiry stage through to the event itself.
In readiness to welcome back events, capacities and floor plans have been revised to ensure they meet the current social distancing guidelines, and we have achieved Visit Britain’s ‘We’re Good to Go’ industry standard along with also being awarded AIM Secure Accreditation, meaning the intrinsic detail required to safely host events has been independently assessed and accredited to give organisers and delegates further peace of mind.

Guests should retain a minimum one-metre+ social distance and seating in various formats will be arranged in line with official regulation.
While Trinity House was closed, stringent disinfectant measures were put in place including an on-going schedule of commercial ‘fogging’ – the de-contamination of all internal surfaces with a light chemical mist which has been rigorously tested and proven to be non-harmful to humans, electrical equipment, artefacts and antiques, including paintings. The system of distribution guarantees the elimination of 99.999% of known bacteria and viruses.
New protection measures include a one-way pedestrian route and switching off air-conditioning with more windows open to encourage the flow of fresh air. In addition, Trinity House has purchased a ‘temperature gun’ which will be available for use by staff and clients upon request and there are free standing contactless hand sanitiser units positioned throughout the house. The venue has been issued with two contagion-secure accreditation certificates by the AIM (Meetings Industry Association) and Visit Britain.
