Museum of London x Craft Central Pop-up, Christmas 2016

The Museum of London shop and designer-maker charity Craft Central have teamed up for the first time to create a special pop-up store in time for Christmas. The collaboration will offer shoppers a festive destination to buy original, stylish and handcrafted gifts for friends and family.

The Museum of London tells the story of the capital over its extensive history through its phenomenal 90,000 objects. Craft Central is a charity which nurtures fine craftsmanship in artists and the public through the provision of spaces for work and promotion for independent designer-makers.



Both institutions have carefully hand-picked 10 independent designer-makers based in the UK to sell a range of gifts in this special pop-up store in London for the first time this Christmas. The collaboration will give shoppers the opportunity to buy bespoke, unique presents which will please the whole family this winter, in a festive, one-off pop-up.
