Located in the heart of the capital, the Museum of London boasts some of the best exhibitions on the city’s history. To commemorate the 100th anniversary of women’s suffrage in the UK, the museum presents Keeping Alive the Suffragette Spirit, a display that looks at how the 20th-century movement continues to inspire women today. This exhibition is part of the Museum of London’s Votes for Women programme, which runs until 6 January 2019.
