London Fire Brigade Museum — Attraction in London

Worth dropping in if you're just around the corner, but I travelled across London to see it and felt I'd wasted my time. There's a small history of the fire station just across the road (not the LFB in general!), but all the exhibits are bizarrely missing so you can just read the text. And the full contents of a fire engine are laid out on the floor, but without much interpretation. It would really be better if they didn't pretend this was a "museum" and waited till their permanent home was up...

I have mixed feeling about this pop-up museum and I was considering to provide only three stars; however, I am keeping in mind this is only a pop-up and temporary museum and once the redevelopment of Lambeth Fire Brigade completes, a proper and functioning Museum will be up and running.

The exhibition is very small and I'd recommend for people to go during an event or activity already planned; or just pop up to the Migration Museum (on the 1st floor) which I found it to be...

Wouldn’t recommend to be honest. Really wasn’t much to look at apart from 2 fire engines and equipment sprawled all over the floor behind glass. The hands on part of making fire safety cards wasn’t good at all. There were hardly any pencils and no templates or card to draw on. My 2 daughters were disappointed as was I. Online it sounded like it would be great but it was such a let down. Especially because we had travelled from the other side of London...
