Archives on Show: Lost Victorian City

Our Archives on Show events are a chance for us to show you the sheer range of material we hold at The London Archives. In these sessions we will present a display of material for you to browse at your own pace, where staff will be on hand to answer questions. Whether you are new to archives and curious to see what we hold, or you are an experienced researcher that wants to learn more these relaxed events offer a chance for you to explore our collections by theme and format.

Our current exhibition Lost Victorian City offers a window into Victorian London that is now lost from view. In this session, one of the exhibition’s curators will produce additional materials from the archives, including prints, photographs, letters and plans that will allow you to unlock the places, pastimes and passions of Victorian London, including our rarely seen Polyrama Panoptique. Visitors can book for either 11am or 12 noon.
