Stanton Williams and Asif Khan, together with conservation architect Julian Harrap and landscape design consultants J&L Gibbons, have been announced as the winners of the Museum of London’s international competition for the new museum at West Smithfield.

- A new lifted dome to create a light-filled entrance to the museum.

- Flexible spaces to serve as a new meeting place for London and a centre for events and debate
- A new sunken garden and green spaces.
