The licence will allow the museum to host performances, live music and cultural events, with extended opening hours designed to establish it as a major destination in the capital’s round-the-clock cultural scene.

The museum is to begin welcoming visitors from November 28 after a decade-long refurbishment of Smithfield’s iconic Victorian General Market.

The space, which has been empty since traders moved out in the 1990s, is to be split into three distinct areas: Real Time, Our Time, and Past Time.

A combination of permanent displays and temporary events, delivered with partners including Fabric nightclub and Morley’s chicken shop, its opening has been described by Lord Sadiq Khan as “proof that our city is the cultural capital of the world”.
