Making an exhibition of yourself

Last night, a square metre of empty foyer space at the Museum of London was sold in an online auction for £720. Yes, that's one whole square metre, in which the winning bidder - who goes by the virtual moniker of leeslack1972 - will be able to put up any exhibit she or he wishes, as long as it represents their life in London.

So what would you display if you had the chance? Suggestions from the museum include a P45 from a job that you hated, a flea-market find of essential London fashion or your grandparents' wedding photographs. But is there anything else more weird or wonderful that you would pick to tell a better tale of your life in the capital?
