The Museum of Youth Culture celebrates a century of teen life, with exhibitions and digital projects exploring youth subcultures, identity and self-expression. Past and current features include God Save the Queens, Queering The Archive, Grrrlhood and Strike A Pose, alongside archivist diaries and open calls inviting the public to contribute their own stories and photographs. It suits anyone interested in social history, photography or subcultural movements, from rollerskating scenes to nineties gay club nights. A new museum space is set to open in spring 2026. Based in Westminster, it's just 0.2 miles from Tottenham Court Road station, with 791 bookable places to stay nearby within 5 miles on BritStays, making it easy to combine with a wider visit to London.
