The London Archives, based in Clerkenwell and holder of the City of London’s historic records as well as much of the older London County Council’s, offers roughly monthly tours of its behind-the-scenes spaces and archive rooms, and new dates have been announced.
The site features over 100km of archival storage and a conservation studio, which the tours will take visitors around. Visitors will also have time to ask questions of the staff who work there.
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.
Two tours of the London Archives take place at 1pm on the following Wednesdays:
- 1st July
- 5th August
- 2nd September
Tickets cost £10 per person and can be booked here.
The archive building is a short walk from Farringdon station, or the 63 bus (from King’s Cross) stops nearby.
