Explore! Discover! Solve!
in London’s new mathematics discovery center

Welcome to the home of hands-on mathematics!

MathsWorld is the first permanent museum about mathematics in the UK, located beneath a railway arch on London’s vibrant South Bank, just a few minutes walk from major tube and train stations.

We invite visitors of all ages, from 1 to 100, to explore the beauty, creativity, and power of mathematics – as well as families, groups and school classes.

Whether you’re a lifelong maths enthusiast or a curious sceptic, our interactive, hands-on exhibits will surprise, delight, and challenge you. Step inside a giant soap bubble or a kaleidoscope. Try our laser ring of fire. Crack secret codes. Play pool on an elliptical table. Solve fascinating puzzles. Discover the hidden maths in everyday life.

With over forty innovative exhibits and a packed programme of events, MathsWorld is a place to spark curiosity, ignite imagination, and see mathematics as you’ve never seen it before: fun, colourful, mind-blowing, and deeply connected to the world around us.

Mathematics has beauty and romance. It’s not a boring place to be, the mathematical world. It’s an extraordinary place; it’s worth spending time there.

– Marcus du Sautoy, British mathematician
