About this event

The recently refurbished George IV now features a display of images from across LSE Library’s archives, and we’d love for you to see them with a curator-led tour.

Meet in the LSE Library Gallery at 4pm for a short tour of the newest exhibition, Combining Efforts: 200 Years of Trade Unions.

Then, we’ll head over to the pub to explore the archive featured on its walls. From Labour MP George Lansbury on a motorbike to Tariff Reform posters and historic LSE staff sipping cocktails on the roof, these images make for a lively and unique start to an evening in the pub!

Learn more about George IV and the archives on display.
