It'd be a shame to see it close its doors as it's a good museum, but ultimately the building it's housed in is not particularly significant historically. So long as the collection can be relocated don't really see the big deal to be honest...

of the current location is that it is v close to The London Dungeon, HMS Belfast,
Southwark Cathedral, Tower Bridge and other touristy type attractions.

Yep that's certainly a plus, but it doesn't mean that it moving is necessarily the end of the world. London's got a fair few tourist sites and so long as relocation is achieved to somewhere of similar standard then I see no problem still...
