Called StreetMuseum, the app guides users to the sites, where, if they hold up their iPhones, they can see the past emerge as an overlay across the present scene.

The app also allows users to view archive images from the museum's collection.

The Museum of London is due to open its new Galleries of Modern London on 28 May.
