The new Wandsworth Museum will be re-opening to the public on 3rd September 2010, after £2m was pledged to save it. Funding to Wandsworth Museum was cut by local councillors in 2007 following a shortfall in government cash.

The museum has a collection of 10,000 local historical and cultural artefacts.

London Mayor Boris Johnson said: “Not only is the new Wandsworth Museum a fabulous resource for the local community, it is a wonderful addition to London’s cultural landscape.”
