A secret gem of London. Lovely staff. Interesting exhibition. Magna Carta of London was on show. Well worth a visit
Visited for research. One can order documents in advance after registering for a readers card. Staff very helpful and friendly. Wide range of records and reference materials available.
Very modern and fairly large archive. Great for genealogical research particularly for London ancestors. You can access Ancestry on site. However, you do need to apply for a visitor card if you want to research
I have made many visits in the past 20 years to this valuable and wonderful archive centre.
The staff are always so helpful, knowledgeable, and approachable.
I think it is a good idea to now have a readers card, so you can view the historical documents.
Registration and printing of card took less than 5 minutes.
The exhibitions that they also have are very interesting.
If you have London ancestry, be sure to pay this a visit. Sure, you could look on the various genealogical sites, but nothing is better than viewing the original registers/ documents. It’s even fun using the microfilm readers!
Lastly, not far from public transport.

Fantastic special exhibit on Unforgotten Lives, which remembers selected historical non-white British people and their contributions to the country’s progress. Also a wonderful resource for all.
Had a lovely tour and listened to some intriguing talks here. I visited for the Annual Huntley memorial lecture and had a lovely day on the whole.
I would recommend that the credentials of guest speakers are better screened as an incident occured on the day during a sessional workshop in which a group 'ganged up' against an individual which saw them verbally attacking her and making outlandish accusations to humiliate and embarrass the individual. It was very upsetting to witness and I beleive better precautions should be put in place to safeguard visitors.
