London museums given culture funding
Two London museums are to receive government funding as part of a culture department funding award. The London Museum of Water and Steam in Brentford, west London, has been given £2.6m while the Foundling Museum in Camden, north-west London, will get £320,000. Natasha Irons, Labour MP for Croydon East, said the money will "allow them to carry out crucial repairs and continue their excellent work". The money announced on Thursday includes a pot worth £120m, which will be available to venues including the British Museum and National Gallery, which both get their regular annual funding from the Department of Culture Media and Sport. Both will also receive a 5% increase in their annual grants. Ms Irons added: "In London and across the country, Labour is investing in arts and culture for all."
