Beasts of London

Meet the animals who have shaped London’s history.
Step into an immersive tour through London’s history, narrated by the animals who once lived here. Beasts of London explores the fascinating role animals have played in shaping the capital. Be guided through time, from the Roman era through Medieval London and right up to present day, narrated by the beasts themselves. Discover how animals – from lions and elephants, to horses, rats and pigeons – have shaped the city and its beastly history.

Voicing these animals will be a host of household names. Kate Moss will be the voicing The Fox alongside Brian Blessed, Pam Ferris, Nish Kumar, Stephen Mangan, Angellica Belland and Joe Pasquale.

Inspired by objects in our collection and created in partnership with the Guildhall School of Music & Drama, Beasts of London will be a fully interactive digital installation using video projection mapping.
