London Metropolitan Archives
London Metropolitan Archives holds an extraordinary range of
collections and records about London. This site offers an insight
into the
archives, and practical advice on how to research and use them,
both at LMA and
online. We run a wide selection of talks, guided tours, film
screenings, exhibitions and other events, and you can find out more
about these
as well as the latest updates from the
archives on our
