Last week, I cycled into work for my first day in the office since December. I had the galleries and all of the glorious parts of our collections all to myself. A treat, some might say.

As we plough ahead with plans to relax the lockdown, there is nothing more exciting than the prospect of a London filled with people once more, when we can get on with the business of being London’s Museum once again.
