A huge last minute donation from an anonymous backer has helped Catford's prefab museum stay open.
The exhibition in one of the old prefabs on Catford's soon to be demolished Excalibur estate, needed to raise £15,000 to remain open to the public until the new year - when it hopes to secure permanent funding.
But, on September 23, with just hours to go until the close of its online Kickstarter fundraising campaign, the museum was still well short of its target.
Organiser Elisabeth Blanchet, who had contacted everyone from Boris Johnson to magician Dynamo for support, explained: "We had a last minute donation from someone anonymous who pledges quite a lot of money so that saved us.
"Until the last minute it was really stressful."
Thanking all the donors, Ms Blanchet said: "It's great because it means we keep on going and got a bit of cash to manage our applications. Also we can stay open because we've got more and more people wanting to come."
