About this event

Community • Heritage

Join one of the curators of our current exhibition for an in-depth tour exploring the lives of Londoners who lived and worked in a city at war. The tour lasts approximately 45 minutes and there will be an opportunity to ask questions. After the tour you'll have plenty of time to explore the exhibition by yourself.

Our London in the Second World War exhibition runs until 19 February 2026, and explores the experiences of Londoners during the Second World War and the effect it had on the city they knew. Find out what it was like to live through the Blitz, to see your neighbourhood change overnight, or to be a volunteer with one of the city’s emergency ervices. Discover London County Council bomb damage maps, personal diaries, atmospheric photographs and rarely seen original artworks.

Please note: we run regular public Curator tours on selected dates each month. This event series covers tours taking place from July to December. Spaces are limited - and Eventbrite will only show dates that still have tickets available.

Please contact ask@tla.libanswers.com if you'd like to book a group tour.

Our London in the Second World War exhibition is free to visit without a curator-led tour.
