Plans that include a permanent home for the London Fire Brigade museum, and a new, modern fire station for Lambeth, have now been submitted to Lambeth Council.
What's proposed?
The new museum will:
- be larger and more accessible
- protect the history of London Fire Brigade
- preserve and display more of our extensive collection of artefacts, historic vehicles and archives in a larger and more flexible exhibition space
- maintain a vital link to the current brigade via its position next to the fully-operational Lambeth Fire Station
- create public access for the first time to a listed building of great significance, including the previously inaccessible Memorial Hall
- allow us to expand our educational programme, with a designated learning centre, to reach thousands of school children every year
- offer a huge variety of events and activities for all ages
There are also plans to create new homes, workspaces and to enliven Lambeth High Street with new public spaces, retail space, a rooftop restaurant and many other local benefits.
