The London Archives

TLA's collections include around 3000 films and videos. The majority of titles in the collections were created by official local government bodies such as the London County Council and the Inner London Education Authority. The diverse range of subjects includes housing, parks, transport, markets, cycling and health services and in most cases London is at the heart of the film.
