Museum of the Order of St John

15 November: Reopened in late 2010 after extensive renovations at its base in St John's Gate, originally the entrance to the former Priory of the Knights of St John, their English base from the 1140s.

Really nice newly opened museum in medieval buildings. A little hidden gem in the heart of Clerkenwell.
