Behind the scenes at The London Archives

Join us for an exclusive behind the scenes tour of our huge site, featuring over 100km of archival storage, a state of the art conservation studio, and a chance to meet our knowledgeable staff to ask any burning questions on archival practice or London’s history you may have!

Following a tour of our building, ticket holders will be treated to a special display of historic documents from the medieval city, Tudor and Stuart governance and disaster, Victorian crime and health care, and the effects of two World Wars on the capital.

Got a question about accessibility? Please do get in touch with us directly if you or your party have any accessibility requirements so that we can best accommodate.
