Bank of England Museum

Gold, banknotes and over 300 years of history. Discover the history of the Bank of England since its foundation in 1694 and its crucial role today as the UK's central bank.

The museum has the world's largest collection of Bank of England notes, the machinery used in their production and a selection of banknote counterfeits.

The museum is temporarily closed for refurbishment and will reopen in Spring 2022. Please enjoy our online activities for everyone to enjoy.
